| well, we are the main reasons why china's economy has been able to grow as much as it has. we pushed for market expansion and capital movement (from the developed world into china), and we completely ignored human rights concerns. so europe's showing its hypocritical colors as well. what that just affirms to me is europe's desire to live in a multipolar world where we don't run the show anymore. as these events continue to unfold, throughout the world, i think it will become increasingly obvious that this is true.
public opinion in europe suggests that there's a lot of support for multipolarity.
the arguments about u.s. faith and european pragmatism are largely rhetorical ploys. both sides can be exposed as hypocrites. at the end of the day, it's whether/not we're to continue living in a multipolar world. |
