    I kind of feel like India and/or China taking up that mantle is out of the frying pan, into the fire.

      It is, but uhhhh, unfortunately the US is looking pretty toast, looks like it’s about to start fucking with Europe for Russia, and China is already clearly making plans to follow Russia’s lead and re-take what they consider to be their territories, simply because they know Trump will let it happen.

      With Europe literally having to cope with managing the US becoming an antagonist along with Russia, I’m not really sure we have a choice in the matter my friend.

        Oh, you’re entirely right. My initial reply was going to be “The sooner the better?” but then I stopped to reflect on what would fill that power vacuum.

        With any luck, my kids will see a better world before they die. I know I won’t.
