Europe won't stop pretending

to be a major and independent player around the world, until it can afford its pride no longer. A military confrontation between USA and PRC, initialized by USA and most likely taking place in South China Sea, may come sooner than most people have expected. After which Republic of China becomes either secured for eternity or folded for good.

(无力再维持其骄傲之前，欧洲会一直在世界舞台上把自己装扮成一个主要且独立的表演者。美国找茬引起的美中武装冲突, 最可能在南中国海, 会比大多数人所预料的来得快。在此之后, 中华民国要么长期安全，要么彻底终结。)
