non-native english. Of course I do not mean that bloody stuff like in ancient times. More in terms of a strategic move for which I don't know a better wording.

I don't know where you're from, but here in Germany we generally try to avoid sacrificing people (both literally and figuratively).

Yes. Every divorce here in germany is basically love and flowers and based on constructive respect. Sure.

We do not actively "sacrifice" them. They voted for themselves to go out, they believe it's better to them. Okay. But why should the EU not do what it can the make the best of the situation? Do not answer with european spirit, the vote was against this, for the hope of a little better financial situation (aka: selfishness).

I really support everyone who needs help whenever I can, but I can't stand this behaviour, expecting mercy for their own selfishness. And as it seems, we have more important problems where real lifes are on stake, syrian immigrants for example.
