A new survey reveals EU citizens are growing more and more US-sceptic, and think it's time for the bloc to pursue its own foreign policy and reduce ties with Washington.

Oh there are several EU nations just waiting to pounce on our inevitable tumble from the world stage. Spain, France, Portugal, and Italy are working behind the scenes to strengthen ties with their past colonies in Central and South America so when Trump actually starts bombing them because of "the war on drugs" and "migrant crisis" they'll offer direct and indirect support. (up to be including Nuclear weapons.) Other nations want nothing more to be the first one's in control of Nuclear weapons in Central and South America. This would weaken American control over two of the fastest growing and most profitable continents on the planet outside of Africa. Suddenly, Spain and Portugal for example would have access to Venezuelan oil without worrying about US sanctions and economic threats while having Venezuela as a pseudo colony again. (Trump already tried overthrowing Venezuela once with private military forces.)
