Acting fast would be nice but I think the dismantling of science/education in the US is far from done - it will continue for some years

True, but it doesn't need to be dismantled much to start making young US workers less desirable.

But the last time that Europe acted fast and coordinated was when? Napoleon's Hundred Days, perhaps?

As a European, I strongly prefer slow and decentralized and the principle of subsidiarity over quick and easy to corrupt, as current history demonstrates. To me, it is a tradeoff well worth it.

Many seem not to be familiar with that fundamental core principle of the European Union:
