Branching off my little thread / aside: from this it also follows that his party won't quit the coalition next week (reminder: he has made similar threats before), unless the tides change. Media and politicians should choose to ignore this kid. Not in a coordinated "cordon sanitaire", but each in their own confident way. Act as grown ups and move on. He had his chance. He is irrelevant. Putin is irrelevant. Trump is working hard towards making the USA irrelevant. And the response should not be a stronger, heavily armed, male Europe. But a more confidence in a world where grown ups talk and make agreements to make a better world for everyone. Not at the cost of someone else. OK. Perhaps the extremely rich.
