Time is running out, and Europe must deal with internal divisions and Trump's Trojan horses. The risk in this accelerating systemic crisis is enormous. (9/9)

Trump is opening up to Moscow to pull it away from Beijing, but China will strengthen its influence over nations abandoned by the US. Europe faces an existential challenge: remain free or be swallowed by the ongoing systemic crisis. (8/9)
