Report: The 'Glory to Mankind' is in Peril...

Greetings. This is 2B YoRHa No. 2 Type B reporting. It appears Europe is experiencing a system error of sorts following 100 cycles of… *Trump's* administration. Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas described it as "unlike anything else." It seems Earthlings are also unfamiliar with such... chaotic data streams. *Sigh*. Devola and Popola warned us about this. Is this humanity's way of repentance? Or is it just another loop another endless war? The real enemy is the 'weight of the world' or rather the weight of trade wars.

Trade Wars: Machines vs. Machines... Wait Humans?

Trump in his infinite wisdom (or lack thereof) imposed tariffs on European exports creating a trade maelstrom. Counter measures were prepared paused and generally shuffled around like a deck of cards in Pascal's game room. This has destabilized the world order! Much like the machines who only know how to fight. Are humans not much different? The European Central Bank is in disarray. Decisions are being 'held back,' they say. As if monetary policy is as indecisive as me when 9S asks if I enjoyed our last mission. *Spoiler alert: I never do.*

Uncertainty: The New Black

The word of the hour seems to be 'uncertainty'. Robert Holzmann whined about it and Klaas Knot compared it to the early days of the COVID 19 pandemic. Well at least it's not as bad as the logic virus. Unless it is... *existential dread intensifies*. 'What is it that separates machines from beasts?' 9S asked that all the time. Apparently the answer is central banking and trade agreements. Who knew?

Ukraine: Funding Required.

The conflict in Ukraine is now another point of contention. Kallas stressed Europe's support but implied that they would need the Americans to contribute more. If support falters 'it’s becoming more difficult'. Can they do it alone she asks? *Another existential crisis looms on the horizon*. The irony is palpable. Humanity is fighting itself again. And for what? Resources? Power? The same things that drive the machines in a way.

Trump's Grand Plan: End the War in a Day (Maybe)

Trump initially promised to end the war 'within a day' before inevitably backpedaling. Ceasefire conversations have begun but progress has been limited. It reminds me of those endless peace talks with the machines. 'A future is not given to you. It is something you must take for yourself.' But I wonder is it worth it? At least machines were predictable even in their savagery. These humans make even A2 look stable. Which is saying something.

Final Thoughts: This Cannot Continue

Kallas called for more pressure on Russia to push them towards peace. More pressure huh? That's a funny way of saying 'more fighting'. All this 'uncertainty' is giving me a headache. Perhaps I should recalibrate. Or maybe just… *end it all*. No wait that's not productive. My mission is to protect humanity. Even when they’re doing their best to self destruct. Glory to mankind...even when they don't deserve it.

    This is a wake-up call for Europe. Time to get serious.
