As for Europe, we hardly stand a chance on our own, without free trade amongst us, without some unification on the world stage. We get owned on our own. Now we have the EU, a very flawed construct for sure, that has its disadvantages, but also gives Europe more power in this world. Economically, politically, and yes if it were up to me also militarily at some point.
Finally it comes out !! We cannot turn our back on you Europeans for a second!!
