It will suck, and then it will get better.

From what I know, and please correct me if I am wrong; it relates to fear and cognitive dissonance. First, by creating FUD the perpetrator can cause physical narrow-mindedness within the brain, the amygdala — centre of emotions if you will — takes control which reduces reasoning capabilities. Second, by introducing multiple conflicting viewpoints in that state, you induce what we call cognitive dissonance. The brain is unable to reconcile the two opposing (or even just differing) views. This is a conflict at the circuit level of the brain, and the brain needs to reach a conclusion, and conveniently the conclusion is produced by the perpetrators of fud, those who seek to control/exploit others.

I don't disagree.

From my point of view, we (europeans) should focus on our collective well-being and sovereignty.

Unfortunately it feels that at times, we find more to split with each other than the rest of the world.

China is on the path to doing just that, and I expect the heads of the government (or at least the people behind the scenes) in both EU and India consider this.

The US has, unfortunately, proven to be a very unreliable partner.
