Excellent work. Keep it coming.

Correction, because a group of rich and powerful vested interests exploit that ignorance for shortsighted profit.

Not going to happen. Europe is barely holding together as it is, and Russia/China are using just as much energy and resources in undermining it as they do in the US.
