US proved they'd rather torch the planet than let its grip on the dominance.

Macron also argued that Europe had increased its dependency on the U.S. for weapons and energy and must now focus on boosting European defense industries.

I'm not surprised by this, sabre rattling appears to be in full lift off in Europe. Anyone knows, if France just happens to have a strong military production capabilities?

I believe that in the end Western Europe will do what's best for their ruling capitalists, in my view the Covid crisis showed how split the EU is and that solidarity between nations exists mostly as a nice propaganda to sell the EU entity.

Work, commute, clean, prep for next day, walk the dog, maybe read a manga or browse the web. Repeat and wait for the end.

Classical IMF, hope they don't give in.

Great question. I am referencing to the events and space I'm experiencing, now there could be some sort of unity behind the concepts and relations of life and death. Due to the lack of perception outside of basic sensors I dare not to say anything further.

On the side note, at some point in my life I've been influenced by A. Watts, On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are (the game of black and white) in particular.

1. Everything I think of is just a model that tries to make sense of the world around me.
2. Life is chaos, order is just chaos of lesser magnitude.
3. Breathe, don't assign any weight to your emotions and thoughts, no matter how bad things seem to be, there's always tomorrow (to opt to get out).

For sure. I watched a video on the numbers and it's pretty obscene.

They can always choose to work with the new block(s). My thought was more aimed towards EU (the core economic blocks), that will likely increase the pressure on their working and resource trading "partners". The declining economies will wreck many homes and in addition make us vulnerable to speeches of various demagogues and right winged ideologies.

For sure there's positive (hopefully more breathing room for the so called "south"), truthfully I feel it is fear of how will this hit me that's making me anxious.

What a time to be alive, although I am fearful what the waning powers will do.

It blows my mind that TikTok is being banned, while if memory serves, not so long ago high EU officials accidentally leaked their login passwords over Zoom.

Couldn't this be a good event?

Curiosity.
