Little reminder that "Europe" does not exist. Americans are so used to think about their country in unified terms that they forget itm Europe is a puzzle, there's no political entity that has a voice as of now. Theybtried to do the "unified currency" idea but it didn't turn out well at all.

Europe is only a bunch of little states with big mouths, small armies, no nuclear weapons and, most importantly, a consolidated perception of "war" as an outdated idea.

What's happening is black smoke, there's no meat beneath it.
