    I expect that Europe as a whole is now headed for some very dark times. The economy is already in a terrible shape. Meanwhile, the EU is actively trying to start a trade war with China while also trying to increase military production which will necessarily come at the expense of living standards. I really don’t see a way out for Europe at this point.

      Yeah, after looking at everything that has been going on I’ve basically crossed off every EU country that was a potential study abroad candidate for me. No way in hell am I going to subject myself to a country that is mimicking the same problems that exist here (inflation and stupidly high utilities, plus the Nazi thing too). My heart goes out to our EU comrades, I don’t know how they’re able to deal with this.

        I really think that the only way forward is for EU to break up, and then countries can start joining BRICS or doing their own thing. In particular, I expect that Hungary, Slovakia, and Serbia are the most likely candidates to join BRICS in the coming decade. Perhaps Greece as well as they’ve been fucked by the EU repeatedly.
