Exactly. I asked a few European friends about the pipeline explosions, but they weren't major news stories. Interesting.

I agree, the EU won't last much longer, but I don't see how Europe will rid itself of NATO. The US won't leave without a fight. NATO has kept socialism out of Europe, and it seems as though Europeans suddenly forgot about their distrust of NATO.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ukraine dissolves into the countries that surround it, and the violence won't end for decades.

The best outcome is we avoid nuclear war, but we don't even seem worried about nukes. Fucking insane.
