America has been trading with China for 1000 years, and Europe has been trading with China for 2700 years. Modern America is Europe’s way of trading with China by moving Europe one continent to the west since the Bedouins have pretty much cut off the overland trade routes to the east; it’s obvious that the problem is continuing and will continue forever, so trade from the American west coast has permanently taken the place of trade from the European west coast.

Umm...you do know this is the 21st century, right? And the overland trade route problem was solved in the days of Vasco de Gama?
