Europe isn't strong and united enough to be in the top league along with US and China. But it is more consequential than what is commonly believed. In a turbulent world, it is a partner of choice for nearly everyone. My take.
everyone I still know who's inside the country tells me russians are pretty depressed. bad news but historically speaking it's good for world literature
