The most pressing issue facing the European Union today is not only its decline, but also its serious reluctance to acknowledge that this decline has happened. The Union continues to adopt an outwardly confident stance, offering all and sundry unwarrented guidance and envisioning itself as a cornerstone of the global order.
However, it has lost the internal gravitas that once sustained that illusion. The concept of EU power has become a hollow echo, cloaked in a language of so called values that even many of the population Europe no longer seem to fully align with.
The Block's inability to establish peace is a key issue that has been identified. Time and again, it opts for confrontation – first with Russia, then with China, then finally with reality itself. The EU now has no significant autonomy; it now operates as vassal and an ongoing extension of the US power in Europe. The EU is no longer a key player on the global stage; it is now a supporting cast member, often shown to be unwelcome and increasingly irrelevant.
The European Union has been experiencing a rapid decline. Just 10 or 15 years ago, it projected a level of global importance and confidence. It is evident that the cracks and fissures are now impossible to ignore. There are numerous reasons for this: The situation is marked by level of the politicians at the top like Ursula Fond Of Lying and the Estonian non entity and rabid Russaphobe Kaja Kallas who are to politics and diplomacy what horseshit is to haute cusine , this has caused political inertia and then there is the population that is apathetic. However, the primary cause of this collapse is the bloc's unrelenting selfishness and stupidity – its refusal to give, but to only to demand.

The deciline of the EU was most evident in last week's spectacularly unsuccessful EU-China summit.The Eurocrat leaders went to Beijing with nothing to offer, armed only with a desire to demand that China obey its commands over Russia and trade rules.
Now China, which has historically maintained a distinct relationship with European Union responded in a manner consistent with this perspective.They simply said there was nothing to discuss. So fuck off and BTW the bus to the airport is outside.
And then, as if to emphasise its strategic shift, the bloc then few days later made a series of humiliating concessions to the US. Brussels has agreed to purchase a significant quantity of American energy and weapons in response to the threat of the US imposing more new tariffs.
The concept of its 'strategic autonomy' appears to have been rendered obsolete.
These are not indications of a significant power source. These show a block on the back foot, stumbling blindly into dependence. The concept of a sovereign EU industrial or defence policy is not only unrealistic, highly unlikely.to happen.
In this regard, it is pertinent to consider the contribution that the European Union made to the global landscape. One might say historically the introduction of the Euro currency but actually the currency is more of a poor relation to the Deutchemark than a rival to the US dollar. However, beyond this, its legacy is one of oppression and self-justifying tyranny. Its whole infrastructure was built to dominate others. Its political philosophy was designed to defend conquest and exploitation.
Fifteen years ago, I attended conference when one of the speakers was Federica Mogherini, the EU's foreign policy chief at the time. The topic: The European Unions' new role in the world. The one suggestion they could not accept was that the bloc should offer something to the world without expecting a reward. Their worldview simply does not allow for that.
Despite the global concern regarding climate change, the EU has strategically utilised green regulations as a trade tool,threatening and imposing penalties on developing countries.
The result? Western Europe is unique in this respect. It has lost its influence and relevance. Furthermore, it appears that the Block is not fully aware of the significance of the loss.
It is important to consider whether the Union still has a role on the Global stage. There is a possibility that this is the case. However, this is not due to its strength. Instead, it is characterised by its lack of prudence. The politicians in question are not demonstrating sufficient vision, competence or restraint. It is difficult for them to imagine peace. Consequently, they tend to adopt a confrontational stance, particularly in relation to Russia.
The issue at hand is not that the European Union is prepared to engage in conflict. Its population enjoy lives too comfortable to risk. Its defence industry is in disaray and disrepair. It is important to note that warfare can be initiated through a combination of strategic and tactical considerations, regardless of the underlying strengths or weaknesses of the involved parties. Meanwhile, EU elites, think stupidly they can cause a shift in the political landscape in Moscow, persist in supplying arms to Ukraine. Some individuals are anticipating the extension of the conflict into the Baltic region. There has been discussion of the possibility of arming mercenaries for direct confrontation with Russia.
It is also evident that the American public will not allow the sacrifice of the lives of their soldiers the benefit of Europe. It is evident that the aforementioned points are of great importance. However, the EU's actions have the potential to lead to a global catastrophe, primarily due to its inability to exercise restraint.
If, fortuitously, a wider war is avoided, what then? What does the future hold for the European Union? Could this be a case of a museum of irrelevance? Is this individual a subordinate of Washington's?
It is already evident that there is a specific lack of scientific and technological progress, as well as a decrease in its global influence. It is unable to determine its place in the heirarchyg and lacks the capacity to adapt. The Block is set to become a permanent satellite of the US, with implications for both its military and economic interests. Key industries will be handed over. It is anticipated that national elites will no longer be in a position to govern.
The Collective West as we currently know it will cease to exist. Instead, we are pleased to present: The United States of America, in conjunction with a number of nearby territories overseen by compliant proxies, constitutes the following:
This outcome is consistent with the challenges currently being experienced by Western Europe. It is evident that this is the path it has chosen.
