摘要

Radek Sikorski, Poland's foreign minister, says he fears German paralysis more than German power (or Russian missiles). Barack Obama says the euro zone poses the greatest risk to America's well-being. Having once spurned the imf, euro-zone leaders beg for its help. In European chancelleries the talk is of who should be the elect ones.
