I think, the first statement is evident for anyone with still a little bit of critical thinking. It doesn't even warrant any explanation.
The second statement is more interesting. The core problem is that the europeans will have to realize that there are no 450 millions ways to gain liberty against a corrupt regime like the us gov.
What does it means in practices? Violence and Killing. How do the Chineses protect their sovereignty and liberty? By killing scores of American corrupt agents from the police state, And when I say scores, as soon as they find them, they are jailed, data harvested and their corpses disposed.
And symetrically waging a domestic war against those falling prey to the american induce corruption, chosing to serve the foreigners against the chineses people. And reducing all exposure to corruptions (that will be exploited by the americans).
The thing is that it's the only thing the corrupt american gov understand is applied threat. The problem is that most are too corrupt and coward in european union to be able stand against the american hemegon.
China has the chance to rely on a 5000 year history, and a deep sense and proven reality of achievement, the example of the washmachine ad is quite revealing, and in russia, once the foreign invaders were purged from the state, the intelligence state could bloom.
I just find quite hypocritical to say that european union is about peace, while it host nuclear weapons of the usa, that the usa plans to use it as a hot zone (aka buffer in their hegemonic conquests)...
So yes, is there a chance for european union to become neutral and respect the individuality of each people composing it? No.
it's simpler to move the herds and farms of france to Shandong :).
on this positive note, he flew !
