Europe.
I know Andrei Raevsky is spot on. I also have friends in EU, some of them from true elite and are thinking people--they say the same. Read the whole thing at Saker's blog. This, however, also addresses SCM's legitimate concern from discussion to previous entry in this blog.
We all are concerned. But it is European fate to be the lunch for declining US, not the other way around. This buys America some time before inevitable final departure from self-proclaimed hegemon status--it is in progress as I type it--but the fate of Europe is unenviable. The US has chances and resources for survival, however diminished in every category, Europe has not. Unless, unless, unless... and you know what should be put in this blank. But I do not want to speculate now. I agree with Andrei:
Here is, I think, the correct answer to the question I asked above: do the Europeans deserve what is coming to them next? Considering that what is coming to them next is entirely self-inflicted, I think that irrefutable answer is a resounding “YES!”.
Difficult to disagree.
