Don't want to be too pedantic but why are the UK, Norway, Ukraine and Belarus shown as being part of the EU when they are not. The EU is not Europe!!! It only represents member states not the whole of Europe! It's this sort of thing that leads to people seeing the EU as imperialist. Surely DW could do a basic fact check on it's videos before posting them. This weakens journalistic credibility.
cenk atalan As an American, I think my govt. wouldn't mind if the EU collapsed because then our economy wouldn't have to compete as harshly with a United Europe. Russia will leap with joy & China will lose a bigger market but will be able to project a lot of soft power across Europe as with Russia.
I would be kind of happy since we have had referendums about european laws we kept rejecting them but they changed the name and shoved it down our throats without a referendum this time
One thing other countries would like is to do away with Europe's high food standards. ie American chlorine washed chicken. Now a concern for British producers, cheap American chicken flooding their market.
The EU is just full of false promises. We in Ireland joined on the promise of more employment and the alleviation of poverty. That has not happened. The same people are poor today that were poor before we joined. That proves to me it has failed.

It appears her Legacy is more important than protecting her country and citizens and what's best for the EU she wants a legacy with her name stamped on it I find that appalling

It's time to give something back and she was the last person I expected to take this position and yet she did. She made many mistakes - this right now is now is not one of them.
Ron Simons, the map is meant to show all of Europe, not just the EU. The video is discussing European values, which Europeans can hopefully share whether in the EU or not.
Jakob Peter Raahauge UK is not a part of EU. The agreement is between UK and China. And even if we apply martial law or whatever Hongkong is own by China. We can throw away the 2 system. And there is nothing you will do about it.
Free trade's core value is fair(reciprocation) and protect the intellectual property. Human rights and other fundamental values are the commonwealth across EU.
I have many criticisms of the EU in its current form, for instance Italy has been completely failed by the EU during this pandemic, not to mention Greece etc etc. (Could go on..), but it is absolutely crucial for the EU to remain strong and face its issues head on. It can not afford another country, let alone a powerhouse to leave the EU.
Not alone. But that's the thing - for the first time, we are not trying to become the king of our small hill anymore. I take it as a good sign. We have a lot of potential - the question is not if, it's how to achieve all of this.
Persuade EU countries should be easy. The escenario without European protection looks grim. Strength comes in numbers. An expansionist China, a shifting USA and the world on crisis should be enough to convince all EU members that support and solidarity will be the most secure way to stability and protection.
I was confused by the grey coloring to the map.If this should be Europe, then parts of Russia and Turkey are missing. If this should be the EU, then e.g. the EFTA countries (Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, Liechtenstein),some on the Balkans and some Eastern Europe states shouldn't be grey
Hopefully the EU needs to be more united, we're not in the early 20th century where the majority of superpowers are European. Only together can we defend our interests on the world stage. We need a bicameral parliament with a government elected by the lower house that handles foreign policy, some economic policy (keep loose compared to other federations) and external borders. Only united can we not be pawns to the US and China.
Besides all the BS the EU has been piling up during the last 2 decades or so, the stark reality is only one. While the founding father intentions were sincere and good to eventually roll all the European countries in a singular entity. In reality the project never really started to take shape. The only reason that The Euro was introduced was to try to cement economically the various countries, which never worked either, but immensely helped the German centered export economy. At the moment the EU is an empty shell, for it is politically, culturally, economically and militarily divided, and there are no plan or will to bring the Union to completion.For the last 15 years or so the EU economic policy had been that of Austerity and in fact Germany has been calling all the shots throwing under the economic depression Greece, and extinguishing throughout the entire area Millions upon millions of mostly family run small businesses. Only in the last couple of weeks Angela Merkle to save her political career, superficially has changed her political economic opinion, but it is only to save the foundling EU market from which Germany draws great benefits. The Corona Virus pandemic has created economic havoc throughout the entire EU countries. It would have been economically welcome and wise to immediately inject great amount of cash in the economy to save it for a far worse scenario that it is developing to be, like President Trump and Boris Johnson have done, the German Austerity is still calling the shots, and has opened a very deep crisis that will first hit Germany more than any other country, in fact its car manufacturing might is starting to wobble thanks to the failed Socialist economic Austerity program that never understood the lateral damage it will cause. Whether they will sign a weak economic program or not, the EU is dead, and it has been dead for a long time, but kept alive by various means strictly by German interests.
Forget China, she must focus on her own country and next to the EU. A country can live without China's help. Follow the step of Taiwan on how they control and avoid the spread of the pandemic.
I don't see Poland as a leader since it seems to be only interested in its own security against russia and economic benefits. I might be mistaken, but when did they actively helped another european country while being an EU member. It seems they are alway against something.
Europe needs the EU like a hole in the head. Europe will flourish with free independent Nations trading freely finding their own prosperity . Not the protectionism and money printing the EU offers.Sadly 2021 looks like the year of EURO currency collapse. Something we take no pleasure in at all.

She has been a great leader so far and I don't blame her for not "having a visiοn" for europe. She certainly helped to keep the good times running as long as possible for us all and that's a great achivement in itself. I can just hope that this doesn't spell the beginning of the end. There is certainly enough going on for more then just some minor disputes that are being handled by kind words.
She is really a great lady, whom the history will do will treat like a great leader that she is. And for everything I’ve seen during this 2020, Ursula Von der Leyen also seems to be ! Hope so. (I notice that I'm from Portugal and not from German, that is, I belong to the group that she forced to become momentarily poorer, to be richer, but we have to recognize who is great regardless of nationalities or neighborhoods)
You have a country that constantly flexes and projects their military power globally, it’s the US. You have a country that is not afraid to use their economic soft power and force export-centered nations to bow down, it’s China.

We need a bicameral parliament with a government elected by the lower house that handles foreign policy, some economic policy (keep loose compared to other federations) and external borders.
Only united can we not be pawns to the US and China.
Elected? This is the EU, totally run by unelected bureaucrats.
Besides all the BS the EU has been piling up during the last 2 decades or so, the stark reality is only one. While the founding father intentions were sincere and good to eventually roll all the European countries in a singular entity. In reality the project never really started to take shape. The only reason that The Euro was introduced was to try to cement economically the various countries, which never worked either, but immensely helped the German centered export economy. At the moment the EU is an empty shell, for it is politically, culturally, economically and militarily divided, and there are no plan or will to bring the Union to completion.For the last 15 years or so the EU economic policy had been that of Austerity and in fact Germany has been calling all the shots throwing under the economic depression Greece, and extinguishing throughout the entire area Millions upon millions of mostly family run small businesses. Only in the last couple of weeks Angela Merkle to save her political career, superficially has changed her political economic opinion, but it is only to save the foundling EU market from which Germany draws great benefits. The Corona Virus pandemic has created economic havoc throughout the entire EU countries. It would have been economically welcome and wise to immediately inject great amount of cash in the economy to save it for a far worse scenario that it is developing to be, like President Trump and Boris Johnson have done, the German Austerity is still calling the shots, and has opened a very deep crisis that will first hit Germany more than any other country, in fact its car manufacturing might is starting to wobble thanks to the failed Socialist economic Austerity program that never understood the lateral damage it will cause. Whether they will sign a weak economic program or not, the EU is dead, and it has been dead for a long time, but kept alive by various means strictly by German interests.
0:31 Did Brexit never happen? 🤔
The UK is still in Europe just not the EU that isn't a map of the EU
0:33 you show European Union map without Crete and Cyprus.
But with Belarus instead.
Don't forget Crete is part of Greece OK?
There is no such thing as Europe without the one that gave birth to it!!
Next to that? Is Erdoğan's Turkey.
We can't help it! can we??
Forget China, she must focus on her own country and next to the EU. A country can live without China's help. Follow the step of Taiwan on how they control and avoid the spread of the pandemic.
The iron lady...She is the best woman politician out there...
Seems like poland will be the future EU leader
Yes. And Luxembourg will be the future leader of Nato
Far from it
I don't see Poland as a leader since it seems to be only interested in its own security against russia and economic benefits. I might be mistaken, but when did they actively helped another european country while being an EU member. It seems they are alway against something.
ahahahah
Europe needs the EU like a hole in the head. Europe will flourish with free independent Nations trading freely finding their own prosperity . Not the protectionism and money printing the EU offers.Sadly 2021 looks like the year of EURO currency collapse. Something we take no pleasure in at all.
The EU is drowning in it's own cesspit.
Right. Any minute now. Or...not?
Yes she can.

Shut it! 🖕🖕EU
Australian states have closed there borders to fellow Australians I can't see why EU borders are an issue during this pandemic
The economical consequences
@michi hofer Poorer by which metric? Australia has a higher GDP per capita than Germany and much higher HDI ranking.
DW News.. when you will start to give us the TRUE NEWS? Can't wait for it...
Danke für das hochladen sehr interessant
1:10 Ukraine and Crimea?
Whay do you mean. Crimea is shaded Darker.
Ukraine maked billions for Putin Its the only reason that Ukraine ever existed
The elected Govt of Ukraine was overthrown by a US coup in Feb 2014 (engineered by Victoria Nuland -- she admitted this before a US Senate Enquiry). European nations and their MSM still follow the official Lies.
If US is drowning will never ask for help in a straight forward manner.
They feel that its their obligation to leed all the way to the end.
The question is?? Will they hold us down under the water to escape from drowning?
*When do you expect UK will help the EU but you remember that they can't even treated their own citizens who's in need. 🤧*
Our citizens are very well taken care of, thank you very much.
David Blackwood I beg to differ mate
@@fahrunsnachhause1942 Are you serious!? Do you know how many countries have nothing like the furlough scheme and are now experiencing record levels of unemployment!? You should thank your lucky stars for being British.
@@davidblackwood106 Say that to Greek.
@@elijah420stuffs2 The UK is densely populated, has an abundance of old people and a serious obesity crisis. All of those factors contribute towards our higher mortality rate in an entirely unavoidable manner that has nothing to do with the government's response.
EU fall very soon .
This women destroy EU.
as bad as Putin she been in office for 15 Years there is something going on here, people can say they voted for her but you can say the same for Putin, votes can be altered.
@@samjmk3029 Putin have his problem with rusian church!
Totally, she’s the communist.
No. No negotiations. This goes to trial.
Well i hope so. We just have to get sweden out of the European Union 🇪🇺
U learned Russian and are ready to join them?
Why you want Sweden out of the EU? I'm curious! Where are you from?
@@krababz I think he is reffing to the fact that sweden follows a non-regulated health policy for the corona virus. No restrictions.
I am okay with it. They aim for a group immunity by letting many people get infected.
@@Smurez Group immunity does not work in a sparsely populated country like Sweden. They must go many years over dead bodies.
Best News Channel!
Shes been chancellor about as long as putin has been president/prime minister/president of russia. Maybe time for new?
Yeah i Know, she has been in office for 15 Years and Putin 21 Years if you wanted to know
리주민 That's already set in stone, she confirmed long ago she won't run for reelection.
No.
Look at the map @00:33 and listen to Narrator say this is the EU member states. Whats wrong with this? The Ukraine IS NOT an EU member state!
Well at least Crimea wasn't part of it😂😂
Barth : these guys are full of inaccuracies. They still have the UK in the same colour as Europe. Or are they hiding from the truth and hoping it goes away ?
Bartholomew Macaluso What about Norway, Switzerand, Faroe Islands, Iceland, U.K etc 😂
@@MMSaabChannel I'm not surprised your kind would trivialize this. Come to my county, try out the simple cuisine, its pretty good but maybe watch you thighs the food can be heavy.
@@bartmacaluso your kind? Lol i just added some countries to the list in suprisement of the map don't be a Trumper for that!
NO
All I know is that there's strength in numbers. And Mr Trump is pulling his troops...
Interesting Video, apart from the unnecessary irritating background music. Please leave the music out in future.
Angela go and rest...
@Pentagon1337 you will also go some day ..you won't stay forever
NEIN
Save the EU? What a joke. She will make EU part of China more so. 😂
You are already part of america.EU was dead long time ago.Now you only serve US interest
Fiona C.:-YOU`RE 100% WRIGHT!!. and Elite Mirak:-You sound 100% just as a cheap chinese troll!.
1:48 why is somalia`s northern hemisphere cut off? Is it its own sovereign nation represented at the UN or is it recognized by a country? Im confused here. Thanks.
Seperate colony that made a mistake to join somalia after independence now they wanna be seperate again but no one is interested despite the region being peaceful and democratic unlike somalia
She has been a great leader so far and I don't blame her for not "having a visiοn" for europe. She certainly helped to keep the good times running as long as possible for us all and that's a great achivement in itself. I can just hope that this doesn't spell the beginning of the end. There is certainly enough going on for more then just some minor disputes that are being handled by kind words.
She is really a great lady, whom the history will do will treat like a great leader that she is.
And for everything I’ve seen during this 2020, Ursula Von der Leyen also seems to be !
Hope so.
(I notice that I'm from Portugal and not from German, that is, I belong to the group that she forced to become momentarily poorer, to be richer, but we have to recognize who is great regardless of nationalities or neighborhoods)
Von der Leyen sadly comes with a lot of baggage. Let's hope that she'll do a good job.
Two superpower ? You bowed already.
You have a country that constantly flexes and projects their military power globally, it’s the US. You have a country that is not afraid to use their economic soft power and force export-centered nations to bow down, it’s China. I think we can both agree to call them “superpowers” whether you support them or not.
1:09 engulfed Switzerland 😆😆
Germany redrawing the borders again..., GB is still in EU and Ukraine and Belarus are somehow also included (eastern expansion alive and well :)
@DistriktA LOL you must be joking,... If this was a map of Europe then it should be colored up to the Caucasus and Ural Mountains. That is my point, DW getting really creative, not a map of anything really :). If you are in a news business then be precise, this map is plain garbage, unbecoming of a german produck quality...
@DistriktA well, we have plans...
@DistriktA So why the stars are moving in circular pattern at 1:09
Look at Boris getting a cheeky cameo
Germany, Support hitLar's brother xi.

Without Chinese product you probably have to sell one of your kidneys just to buy a fridge & a cell phone. 😂😂 funny but true 😜
Very power and talent lady in the word 😊😊😊😊🙏
0:30 thanks for including Belarus and Ukraine in the EU
Norway, Ukraine and Belarus are not parts of European Union. Same goes for some Balkan States
Balkan is part of Stalinist project called EU
Did we ever find out why Ang was doing all that shaking?
@ when our leader has a medical problem it is our business.
@ sorry chief but if a world leader has a medical problem and it makes them unfit to run day to day work for the country it is our business
@ oh and ill give the EU 5 - 10 years before it dissolves/collapses
@ anthem phobia is a medical problem?
@ i mean sorry chief but if people want and investigation into her medical they can do it unless she is forming a dictatorship
Let's hope not, the UK really needs more negotiating power hahaha
The world is getting complicated day by day! I feel worried for Angela.
I'm not....wish she would f off.
Andreas Petrou me too, even Canadians know what atrocities this monster has put on her ppl. Really shocked at how she’s portrayed on media there
We need leadership like her on this crisis moments
A crisis that she practically caused?
