Too interconnected in an economic system, loss of foundations, mechanization, etc it becomes systemic. Overthrowing it is probably more possible in Germany than for old American lines to take back America, but it’s possible. If it happens it will be longer lasting than Niger. They will go the way of Rhodesia.
The real question is… how to balance the creative local spirit with the desire to compete. Throwing off external rule is a perpetual cycle if there is an external apparatus of decadent civilization. Do you think the average yankee has any more say in their local governance (let alone foreign policy) than you?
Germany and rest of the European nations are too dependent and too in love with the money that the U.S. supplies to NATO so those countries can in turn continue to shirk their fiscal responsibility to that organization and line their own coffers with the money they would have otherwise used for NATO to instead prop up their overextended social welfare programs. European nations one great fear would be a U.S. pullout of NATO, as that would mean those nations would have to pony up the rest of the funding for their mutual defense to make up for the shortfall of a U.S. withdrawal which could put a real crimp in any future funding of their welfare state programs. Don't get me wrong, I would like to see Europe as a whole get off the U.S. horse, I just think they are far too gutless to do so. I don't believe I need remind you about how the U.S. sabotaged a major piece of European energy infrastructure and how the Europeans just sat on their collective asses and took it to illustrate the point.

The Germans may be recovering their spirit, if the various Islamics now lodged among them don’t poison the spirit.
