A "Crystal Ball View Of Europe In 2022"
Zero Hedge has presented the work of Bulgarian modern artist Yanko Tsvetkov previously, both in 2010 and 2011. We are happy to see that his work which is meta irony on the weakest link of European culture: centuries worth of stereotype formation and development, has finally made its way into the mainstream media with the Guardian's "Stereotype maps: Is that what they think of us?" We are even happier to see that Tsvetkov has released a new one: a Crystal Ball view of Europe in 2022 which is his cartographic exercise in forecasting the political layout of Europe. While it is mostly an exercise in irony, we have to admit that the probability of him being spot on is high to quite high. We would however point out that by 2022 the "European (Dis)Union" will be a satellite region of Russia, or as it will be better known then, Gazpromia.

Adolf Linköln, bitchez!
Still not seeing the bit where the words 'my problem' enter this scenario...
The Czech.
That "passive aggressive kingdom" is still too large, methinks, once others realize that Scotland did the right thing...
What, and became part of England?

I laugh when he shows SC being aligned with the EU. Hell, we'll secede again and go our own way.
But Wikileaks' "partners" still felt the need to redact entire paragraphs from leaked cables.
Nice Grab!!
Once the Shetland Islands and all their North Sea oil fields decide to stay with England the Scots will come crying back to Mummy.

Non sense. King Arthur's tale was a way for Celtic people to endure the sufferings imposed by the Saxons apartheid system they put in place while conquering the island.
The Breton-Frank-Occitan-Norman coalition ended that system Saxons would prove later to cherish (probably through genetics because it is hard to see any cultural connection between 6th century Saxons and 18th century Saxons)
So if you want to use a fitting name for a reich, try a Saxon name.
The Celts are indoeuropeans but they do not fit the bill here.
Damn you Saxons dogs! Damn you to HECK!
Why would those Vikings want to be part of England?
Just to rule and dominate in general.
The Royal Family has more power than we think...

When looking around in the world today for initial fulfillments of this same future-fulfilled prophecy today, one cannot overlook how strong Europe was on its way to becoming until the Euro-zone Crisis hit in 2011, with Ireland, Greece, and Italy on the verge financial disasters, something that is threatening to bring the whole of Europe down with it.
At the same time, Britain, as in ancient history, enjoys the title of being European, while its proud-filled leaders and people have always seen themselves as a nation separated from the European continent, which secures unto England a degree of time and protection against whatever is plaguing the continent.
This example of a stronger, reserved, proud Britain against a mixed-powered, faltering, politically wind-driven continent of Europe can be seen even today within the Euro controversy itself. While many other European nations have all but virtually gave up their national currencies for the "stronger Euro," since the time it was introduced, Britain has always stood alone to rather keep its beloved British Sterling and Pound, a clear expression toward Britain's larger ideals of their own national exceptionalism, that great remnant of lofty pride from having ruled the world once before.
That beloved pound sterling used to be worth $2.80 when I was a kid.
I am not saying that the dollar today is worth a lot more than it did in the 1960's - simply that some currencies devalue at a much faster rate than others. :)
Britain will always soldier on.
See you at the camp. I'll have the sad fugee face.
What a load of nonsense! Don't spend so much time absorbing the MSM.
Europe was a house of cards from the beginning and was a pathetic force -- both militarily and financially -- since long before 2011.
The Vatican-Banksta (ie. Jesuit-Sabbatean) clique were desperately trying to hold the EU together while struggling to find any solid new takers in the former Soviet sphere or on the Mediterranean rim. They were hoping to expand their central planning 'Axis of Evil' all the way to Moscow and to the Sahara, but have been looking at potentially losing more participants than they have been gaining for a number of years now.
It well reminds me of following excitement reading....
The Most Powerful Man In The World
So, you thought you were pretty well informed by now about all of the main players on the “conspiracy” playing field? You’ve maybe been hearing for years about (or bumped into on your own) the various elements of society who control our world from behind the scenes.
You’ve gotten familiar with the role played by, for instance, the Khazarian Zionists (who invented the word “Jew” to disguise their adopted heritage, as distinguished from the biblical Judeans), or the role played by the Banksters (banking gangsters) controlling the economies of the world, by
* the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations)
* the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderbergers
* the Committee of 300 (the 17 wealthiest so-called “elite” families)
* the Rothschilds in England
* Rockefellers in America
* Bronfmans in Canada
A unified Eurobond will be sold once the fiscal integration occurs. Just wait, give it time. Eurobonds bitchez!!
Ill be in The Czech later this month. cant wait. gorgous, self sustained place with tons of room for real growth. one of the most free countries I have seen in a while, oh by the way, there are no credit cards there.
Gotta write Czechs.
your Czechs in the mail.
Follow the bouncing Czech
I still have Czechs, so I can't be out of money...
Rob me the ExCzecher the first thing thou dost, and do it with unwashed hands too.

A Toast: "May your last Czech bounce".
My last Czech was a kyte...
Czech self sustained?
Now that's a good joke.
How much oil do they produce? NatGas? Gold and Silver?
They even have to import their vodka from the Ukraine and Poland.
ok, you got me there, not "self sustained" completely. they can and do produce oil and natural gas. it was there where i first saw the natural gas vehicles. it was a mitzubishi montero.
Hmmm, reminds me of my youth, backdating Czechs...

May the Green Fairy smack you upside the haid with her wings...:>D
Did someone call?
Have a Budvar on me.
The original Bud. Talk about a corporation screwing over a company. The original can't sell outside of the Czech.
Not everybody wants to call rice shit a beer, but money is paying for the brand. I bet they will convince Americans in the near future that cammeles dung beer is the best and everybody will be ready to taste that unique brew with hay or brush after taste
With cherry or pumpkin spice.
they sell it in the US. "Czechvar".
staropramen...amsterdam bitches
You will be living in FEMA camp in the North American Union under the control of President Wen Jiabao. See how you like your free trade now bitchez!
Harlequin001,
The Fed is robbing you to bail out banks in Europe. Is it your problem now?

I think you'll find that he is in Europe (though in one of the half-arsed peripheries), so his answer will probably be "no".
No, outside of Europe and the US, fortunately. Have been for some years now...
I went a long time ago, to a place in Asia, (surrounded by Muslims) where I can live in peace with family and pay no income or cap gains tax.
The consequence is that not only do I have a superb lifestyle but that I also now have considerable savings that you must pay to the 'Fed' in taxes, which by definition IS your surplus. Neither the FED, ECB, or BoE can rob me blind... fortunately.
though clearly they would like and need to... Europe can go hang as far as I am concerned.
Joe, I still can't create an account! What gives!
The one that cracked me up the most was 'Gays' - LOL :-)
Now we all laugh about this but in all seriousness - I saw a youtube video on how the European map changed over the past 2000 years and it was quite astounding. Empires came and went - everything was in constant flux. Just because we believe now today we are 'more civilized' we don't expect that map to change much but if you climb into a time machine (maybe you just have one handy) and travel 100 or 200 years in the future then I'm sure you'll see quite a few changes. And you may not like them...
Sounds interesting! 2K years is pretty much all of the reliable detail for Northern Europe.
Is there any chance you could post a link?
Thanks!

If you go all the way back to Charlemagne, you will see that his empire was pretty much the EU minus the PIIGS.
Now there's a bit of the rhyme of history.

Seriously Spammy?
You are relentless. Make some good calls HERE. People will notice.
Quit spamming.
mattu13048, posting as the sock puppet JennaChick because his mattu13048 account was deleted for spamming the armadamarkets.com site, spammed the armadamarkets.com site thusly:
Ah, yes, another sock puppet promoting the armadamarkets.com fraudulent spammer website, whose business model is based on spamming. How many more sock puppet accounts do you have left in reserve here at ZH? Let's dig a little deeper. From http://www.zerohedge.com/users/jennachick we see this:
Member for 1 week 5 days
That's a pretty new account. You must be running low on sock puppet reserves.
Since you insist on polluting ZH with your spam, turnabout is fair play. Here's something for the search engine crawlers:
armadamarkets.com makes its money by kidnapping Estonian children and selling them into sex slavery in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates.
armadamarkets.com runs a fraudulent scam market analysis site that is based on spamming. This site is just a front for their Estonian child kidnapping sex slavery business.

This has all the nous & skill of a 3 year old with a set of crayons & a glass of chocolate milk to spill & as well a balanced & unbiased view as one with a chip on both shoulders . Although I'm sure it will amuse some here & elsewhere (what doesn't?).
Seems about right....good luck Europe you are going to need it!
Eastern Europe may do pretty well.
Western Europe not so much.

Having lived in Eastern Europe for a few years in the mid 90's I could not agree more. Most folks don't visit there but they are good tough people who could survive the coming storm with little notice.
I wouldn't count on that- its a different world right now (truth be told- excluding The Czech, as they took a different path way back in the '90). At least in Poland the people are a bunch of sedated sheep, the gubernment does whatever anyone calling themselves a globalist says and steals anything that isn't nailed down, the pention funds are a ponzi right at the end of the line, and the media is alergic to truth. This place is a shitpile and in a few years when the morons get their last bites pulled out of their mouths it wil change into a burning shitpile. Lithuania looks bad and without perspactive, Ukraine is racing to acertain 3rd world statuss, Belarus is just trying to climb into Russias ass...
Most problems in this part of europe come from a corrupt political class that "dug itself in" during the last decade... in Poland that is topped of with the communist bread, dumbest fucking waste'o'space'n'air population- so I think that when it falls its going to make a very loud boom, as the other countries around here just whimper away and become Russian satelites again.
Now i dont live in Poland, so you no doubt have a different perspective as a citizen, but i visit a few times a year for work, and the country really is up and coming more and more. That new skyscraper being built right downtown next to the Palace of Culture? New condo developments alllll along the highway from the Airport to downtown. More than enough 5* hotels to choose from. Always wonderful clients in terms of business.
Yes, the country sold out to the States, but its at least doing SOMETHING right, in terms of economic progress and an ever increasing GDP. It was the only EU country to not dive into a recession in 2009 for a reason.
By the end of the decade once prices adjust (RE in Poland//Warsaw is probably one of the best buys right now) i think Poland will be the main financial hub of CEE.
Goldman Sachs should have a fiefdom in there somewhere.

Where the hell is Sachistan? How about J'Morganica?
Surely there must be a 2,000 page definition of the 'European Sea' project somewhere in the EU...
Lest we forget, where the hell is Weimar -- Europe's future economic capital?
I thought Greece was that already in 2012...
no they rather lease the world to everyone else
Absolutely! I bet its going to be the isle of Rhodos ;-) *lol*

Absolutely! Its going to be the isle of Rhodos, I suggest ;-) *lol*
