Euro Area

[PanzerJaeger]

Let's face it, there are only two independent countries in the full sense of the word: That's US and China. Even big European countries have refused to do anything until they got a what-to-do from the Daddy in Washington. UK can't launch it's own nuclear missiles without a go-ahead from Washington.

In which sphere do you see Russia? The country certainly doesn't tow the US line, but the current diplomatic cooperation with China seems to be based more in common interest than any sort of dependence.
