"Had Germany immediately responded to Italy’s appeal for medical supplies, chances are it could have reversed some of the resentment with which many Italians view it. That resentment has been simmering since the 2012 eurozone crisis, when many Italians felt Germany acted heartlessly (though it finally agreed to a bailout of Italy and Spain). Germany wouldn’t even have had to send enormous amounts of medical supplies: China and Russia didn’t. "

"The EU, built through decades of gradual transfers of power from its members to its center, still leaves decisions on borders and health care to national governments. Historically, Europe has relied on the leadership of Germany and France in challenging times. Now, both countries are turning inward to deal with their respective crises, said Jonathan Eyal, associate director of the Royal United Services Institute, a London-based think tank."

"This week marks 30 years since the Berlin Wall came down, signalling the end off the decades-long Cold War. It was the single most important moment since the end of World War II. On the night of November 9, 1989 - the Berlin Wall came crashing down. It drew to a close one of Europe's darkest chapters. Since 1961, the wall was a physical reminder of a divided East and West - the Soviet Union on one side, and NATO and its Western allies on the other. Hundreds of East Germans climbed on top of the wall, chipping away at the concrete with hammers. On the other side, their cousins came out in support in their thousands. The East Germans were shouting for freedom and democracy after decades of communist rule. But did it bring about a new world order? "
