You think the wings of the US are a larger league than the EU?

The EU has built the world's largest trade zone, from Mercosur to South Korea, Japan and India to Canada.

I believe they are currently outmaneuvering the rest of the world by quietly binding everyone to themselves while the US, Russia and China are caught up in their saber rattling.

The US and China are fighting a 20th century contest of hard power. The EU is the only 21st century superpower of soft power.
