   ### - the country air must be doin' moi some good coz this one's REALLY   
   novel heh, coming as it does from a recent WILD wherein standing at the   
   midway point i voiced the question: so what's the solution to all these   
   problems in europe then? (note: have had several stabs at this question in   
   dreaming recently with varying results, and only mention this one because   
   of it's rather novel concepts which am sure i wouldn't have even thought   
   of otherwise...)   
      
   i.e., (and thang defo wont appreciate/like this one lol, although maybe he   
   will on another level) - that 'instead' of continually backing russia into   
   a corner over the last 70 years via all these threats of an increasing   
   unity 'against' it via NATO etc (which is what russia says they don't like   
   and is reacting to) that what all the nations of europe should INSTEAD do   
   is to tell america to piss-off out of europe altogether + take all their   
   damn nukes, other weapons & political shit-stirrings with them, completely   
   disband NATO as a military force + ALL then become TOTALLY NEUTRAL   
   countries en-mass - europe-wide! - problem solved! :)   
      
   smile, in the dream i then watched as the startled collective faces of   
   russia slowly looked-up in surprise & disbelief from their war-plans at   
   this sudden hopeful turn of events, the threats to their security all   
   gone? (at least from europe anyways!) europe a possible friend??   
      
   perforce the americans were hopping-mad, totally indignant, shaking their   
   fists and making all kinds of warnings/threats of war in europe etc... but   
   hey look: if they've gots some kinda fuckin' racist problem with russia   
   then that's THEIR damn problem NOT europe's! we're used to foreigners here   
   and have to LIVE with russia on a daily basis! and because russia's a huge   
   part of europe too! (the largest damn country in the world?) with much to   
   offer if only we'd stop trying to routinely destroy them!?   
      
   anyways, in the dream a new age dawns across europe and then the world,   
   american political influence being somewhat diminished/wounded they slowly   
   pull-in all their tentacles to within only their OWN borders and stay   
   there, and in fact prosper! nukes decrease markedly worldwide and a new   
   era of peace and global cooperation commences...   
      
   (an impossible dream heh, but not bad for being only a dream, and sooo   
   novel i literally woke up applauding at its audacity haha, could even   
   write a novel from it lol ;)
