Re: Roads to war in Europe (none / 0)
No, because imports in 2012:

  1. Netherlands
  2. China.
  3. France.
  4. USA.
  5. Italy

That is a two-way relationship. Note: The Netherlands run a considerable trade surplus with Germany and that is probably the case since the revolt of the Netherlands or so. And this:

"In fact, there cannot be a Eurozone consisting of Germany and anyone else"

Is simply magical thinking.  So Germany couldn't share a currency with the Netherlands because of their unbalanced trade?

Even that is a tradition; that was the cause of the Navigation Acts after all

German trade surplus with eastern europe = Hamburg

Nope.

The German trade surplus basically happens in the southern half of the country. And that cargo goes to Bremen, Rotterdam and Trias (in roughly that order).
