I'd watch Brazil for the future as well.
As regards Europe ruining etc look what has become of some countries since our withdrawal, few seem to be better off that's for sure.

Despite them running their own affairs, and us ploughing back – out of guilt – 10 times as much into the old colonies, in only half a century, in the form of development aid, as we extracted in the previous three centuries combined.
It's all gone.

I think we've more than paid our debt.
And they've pissed it away.

You mentioned Saudi earlier. Highest male unemployment rate in the world, most popular University study, Islam!
They keep threatening to cut oil supplies, I can't help but wonder how long they could last when they've sold it all.
Anybody wanna buy a Camel?

The only people working in Saudi Arabia are women and foreigners, imported labor. Saudi men, as the crowning glory of Allah's creation, sit on their asses their entire lives, fumbling with prayer beads, dutifully waited on hand and foot by the lesser mortals.
