EU Summit Reveals a Paralyzed Continent
The article itself was fine, probably best read in the German original. The concluding section "Europe Has Gotten Stuck in the Mud" was particularly apt in exposing the divorce from reality shared by the EU-Taliban - Schulz, Borossa, V Rumpoy - versus Eurpe's tax-payers.
But must we endure the sloppy translation into American English? Even Mid-Atlantic-World-English would not produce a horror like "Has Gotten Stuck", which no educated American would use. |
