After the summit in Washington, it should have sunk in among Europeans everywhere – even the Euroskeptics of the British Isles – that this strategic realignment is taking place right now! If Europeans cannot get their heads around the fact that the nineteenth century is over, the global caravan will continue to move forward into the twenty-first century without them.
有一个非常真实的危险，那就是欧洲将完全错失历史性的战略转机以转入多极化的世界，并且要为此付出高昂的代价。在华盛顿首脑会议之后，各地的欧洲人甚至是英国的那些对欧盟持怀疑态度的人，也应该意识到这一战略调整此刻就在发生着！如果欧洲人不能承认十九世纪他们的时代已经结束，那么全球列车没有他们也照样能朝二十一世纪继续迈进。
