I truly wish there were simple solutions to the global mess everyone is in.

The article made great sense right up until: "With its democracy now explicitly under threat, Europe must join India, Brazil and China in standing up to Trump."

Now that Trump is cordoning off the western hemisphere from intercontinental shipping traffic, all roads lead through Europe for the Tiger rising in the East. There's a Lion, too, but that's another matter.

I'd be careful how close Europe buddies up to those that don't give two shits about democracy. They'll gladly hollow out any country with an influx of cheap goods to gain the upper hand once dependency sets in.

Brazil wants cheap "smart city" buildouts like every other country on the planet that doesn't have the means to quickly do it themselves.
