The image of Donald Trump surrounded by European leaders, like a primary school teacher giving peace lessons to his little pupils—or like Gargamel warning the Smurfs about the danger of making him angry—says it all: Europe is no longer the First World; they cannot stand up to Russia on their own. As of today, if Washington does not give the green light to its traditional “justified” wars and invasions in the name of "democracy" or the "defense of Europe," they simply do not happen. Gone are the days when they divided up the Americas and Africa or invaded and humiliated China. Considering that the latter is not yet fully part of the balance of power places Europe in fourth place on the geopolitical scale, which would look like this: U.S., China, Russia, Europe, South America, the Arab States, Africa. Of course, the alliance between the U.S. and Europe is still the strongest and most strategic in the world, but it benefits the U.S. far more than it does the Europeans. This situation reflects the lasting consequences of World War II and the disarmament the West suffered, from which it has not yet recovered—not only in the military field, but also in the economic one. Regarding the economic classification, we could say that Europe is on its way to becoming the Third World. In trade, China has taken over almost the entire market of intermediate and consumer goods production that it once shared with the U.S. for so long; a clear example of this is that today Germany is replacing its automotive industry with a military industry. The same can be said about demographics: Europe is aging, almost without young people. In a few years, they will have an immense army of elderly people to face Russia; otherwise, they will sacrifice the few young people left and further reduce their future population. Today Europe only stands out in the cultural sphere, but even in that respect it already shows signs of decline, thanks to consumerist libertinism and "wokism." Finally, it must be said that this display of subordination is largely the responsibility of the European political class and its ideological shifts full of contradictions with history and global reality. The excesses of pursuing a high quality of life on the basis of public spending, reducing production to protect the environment (something neither China nor the U.S. does), or opening their borders so that migrant populations perform the jobs local professionals do not want to do—all these measures that once made them strong are now weakening them across all social variables.
