Re: Europe is destined to be a Russian sputnik.

Sort of.... I prefer my metaphor: Europe gradually morphing into White Africa, that is, a region with about the same living standard(s) as Black Africa but populated with white people... After all, as an article published in The Atlantic put it, Russia can already be thought of as Congo + permafrost. Of course, some European areas will enjoy a US-like lifestyle: the most dynamic cities lying in a banana-shaped area stretching from London/Lille (France) to Rotterdam/Brussels, to Frankfurt to Geneva to Milan.

Footnote re TransAtlantic vs TransPacific trade:

Over 60% of Israeli exports are dumped in the EU market... so, as I said, when Europe sneezes, Israel gets the flu. Besides, Jewish business thrives on the Transatlantic trade, either directly (Hollywood/entertainment biz [Disney, eg], advertising, media outfits,...) or indirectly (M&As... Goldman Sachs, for instance, was the chief architect of DaimlerChrysler)

So, Joe, what's your "outplacement" strategy for them?? There ain't many Jews in China after all.....
