The US is shooting itself in the foot so bad the rest of the world may end up being liberated from their finance-military tyranny. Maybe today will be celebrated as a kind of Liberation Day after all!

I was quite confident on my knowledge of marine biodiversity in my area (I have a PhD in marine biology after all).

Europe has a lot of power right now. Will it go along with the US in its descent into madness? Or will it turn away and look for new alliances?
