Amazing, isn't it. How quickly the ground rules have changed. Many of the notions mentioned in the article - especially the nation-focused nationalism - sound so, old. Perhaps in Europe. But the major trends now seem to be towards the kind of "reich" the author is talking about. And all the steps the Europeans should take are absolutely out of the question with the current leadership. And what will it take, and how long, for that leadership to be discarded. In my opinion, it's almost certain that Europe will eventually recover a role big enough for its history, but Europe has been through more than one trial of this nature, but you might not want to watch as it goes through another one.
It seems the European Empire was built from exploitation, nothing new. The newer US empire was just a rebranding of all the old divide and conquer tricks, newly techno-boosted & weaponized.
Perhaps we should reverse this centralizing trend. Find a manageable size country(say units of 100,000) and turn all the big entities into Way more numerous small ones. Same with companies.
Now we have big absorbing little, to control their creative content or flat out stealing it. Obviously their is something about big, that absolutely destroys many positive attributes. Accountability, morality, justice, efficiency. Just to name a few.
There are many challenges. The crime of aggression is highlighted in UN doctrine as the worst. In reality it is the most rewarding for large entities. They can afford perks like teams of; lawyers, lobbyists and small militias.
Much of the new direction of Trump, fills me with conditional hope. At the same time Blaming Zelenskyy for following deep state marching orders is hypocritical. What would his fate be, had he told Boris to pack sand, when ordered to stop peace initiatives in early 22'? Didn't a member of his negotiating team get killed?
Lecturing Europe about eroding civil liberties, who's media started that trend?
Forget European Mythos ! Leave Club Med Countries and go www.Nordlandia.nl from Hansa-Bruges to Hansa-Novgorod !
