european union expanding,usa sphere contracting.

Whatever comes out of the current bun fight in the Middle East and elsewhwere,it will not change the fact that the USA Empire is contracting.The beneficiary at the moment is the European Union;later on down the track,China will be impossible to ignore.This must rankle the USA top echelon as all their efforts to turn the situation around are falling on barren ground.For those countries not committed to one camp or the other,these are tough times;they are either being bribed or threatened,depending on which day of the week it is.As for Israel and her supporters,which do you support.If half support one or the other they will end up fighting amongst themselves.If there is a battleground in Iraq,who is the enemy?
