    I do care. I wish Europe would win. At least the US might have sane people in power half of the time. China is a full on dictatorship. They are more rational than dorito mussolini, but not really who I want to depend on.

      As an American, I think the only path forward for a stable world is a stable Europe, if only because the EU is the biggest non malfunctional, non antagonistic multi country body right now.

      Europe will not win because European elites are unimaginative idiots who can not see a future that does not involve sucking up to Americans.

      von der Leyen basically caved to Trump in a trade deal despite having a very good hand.
