The Collective West suffers onward and downward. Brussels suffers the scars of habitual colonization and Washington is weary and drained from an excess of wars.
As for Brussels - Europe, it is the age old same, old same...our civilization (?), our values (?), our history (?) comes first and foremost - so why join the 21st century? As for Washington...weary and drained??? From the looks I would not think so.

re: politicians:
Two crocodile brothers meet up after years apart. After all these years, “Biggie” is twice the size of “squirt.”
Biggie asks, “What happened - why are you so little? What have you been eating?”
Squirt says, “I eat politicians, don’t you?”
Biggie says, ”Of course. How do you catch yours?
Squirt: “I catch them in the parking lot. I hide under their car, then grab their feet, beat the shit out of them, then eat them.”
Biggie - “Well, that’s your problem - you’re not getting enough calories!”
Squirt - “How so?”
Biggie: “When you beat the shit out of a politician, all that’s left is the briefcase and an ass hole!"
