    What should have been a moment where Europe proves itself as a third power in the world between the US and China, we got the greatest political fumble of a lifetime instead. Right now I doubt anyone alive will see the day where the unprecedented dominance of the USA will really be challenged again. Let‘s hope they get their shit together and save whatever is left of their democracy because no one will be able to help them now.
