The unipolar world is dead but not the dollars hegemony. now there is an opportunity for the EU to defy the USA and make a deal along with China to ease into a new economic alignment. How bold can the EU become? Certainly this action motivates the EU to break down the dollars hegemony, which China and Russia share. Let there be no doubt, Merkel despises Trump and surely must be looking to humiliate him. This is a get your popcorn world moment.

Yes, we have to reset the clock. Reducing China influence will make no support for Euro or any other money. That's it. But we have to do it quickly.

Merkel is a very bad leader.

She could not stand up to Putin , when he brought a dog. Over the long run she will not stand up to Trump.

Trump will have his Korean Peace Deal. Merkel has nothing. The EU is falling apart. the Greeks hate her. The French only like Germany because of their money. Eastern Europe despises her. Britain is Brexiting.

If she threatens or moves, the EU will fall apart faster.

Indeed it is a popcorn moment. Too bad, bad Anon does not get it.
