As this episode concludes EU is proving completely spineless & ineffective on the world stage.
Do they keep their ambilical cord to DC during the rise of the east, or do they pivot. I predict one hell of a shit show while they try & decide what to do. Unlikely that they will act together. If your country is IMPLODING, do you follow a dictat from Brussels?
UN will continue to split and be just as ineffective. It cannot host common ground to arch rivals.
Will be interesting what both EU & UN morph into given a little time...
