Best grappige enquête die hier gehouden werd. Vooral omdat het meest vanzelfsprekende 'antwoord' van mij totaal niet bij China ligt en inderdaad dr band met de VS bezaaid is met vraagtekens en alarmbellen.
In toekomstscenario's zie ik vooral een EU die in zn eigen tempo zelfstandig de toekomst in gaat.
Ongetwijfeld deels met China, omdat die de internationaal ook vooral de voordelen van soft power ziet.

@… - The Russians cannot be trusted. At best the Russians will buy time, and then have another go.
When will European governments call a spade a spade and really push to disconnect from Russian oil and gas? If that means buying it from the US interim so be it. But then really push hard for energy and military security.
Russia is NOT going away. Nor is its hatred of Europe which is why the've been waging war on us in myriad ways for the last 20 years.
