No One in America Cares About the European Parliament Elections

Well over 90% (probably closer to 99%) of voting age Americans probably have no earthly idea that elections for the European Parliament took place across the continent this past weekend.

Indeed a plurality of Americans are probably unaware that a massive European government based out of Brussels and representing 27 sovereign European nations is even in existence...

In 100 years or so, however, the situation is bound to be very different:

One of the primary goals of a unified Europe is to serve as a counterweight to the United States and China--both economically and militarily.

Today most Americans see Europe as a toothless tourist destination....you know the Queen and the Eiffel Tower. Big beer steins in Germany...

Tomorrow Americans might well see Europe as their rival.
