Rights and protections that have benefited heavily from an economy built on the alliance with the US.

If it weren't for American help and trade post-WW2, Europe would be a Belarusian backwater and is fast heading back in that direction.

Countries like Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, etc. show the future of Europe as it slowly stagnates and becomes a museum that can't feed it's people.

Even Germany that was once excelling is now collapsing economically.

The only bright spot on the continent right now is Poland who are, shocker, much less regulatorily strict and have lower corporate taxes.

PIGS, really? Some of the top growing EU economies right now, which have turned their deficit around, show the future of a slowly stagnating Europe?

A 200B economy growing 2% is the future of the EU? Yes that is the point I am making.

Bangladesh has twice the GDP and 3x the growth. How long do you expect Portugal to be relevant?
