europe especially is out of touch with reality; their current position in the grand scheme of things. the usa is more acutely attentive to their situation, given their circumstances, but europe by its nature is very chaotic, which is why everybody is/was eager to bend the knee to the usa. but that itself seems forgotten, that the usa still owns their ass. then there's an inflated sense of self-importance. how relevant is germany really? or britain? nevermind the other european nations. nobody is planning for a european path; instead they simply walk in the shadow of the usa. and with how steep its decline is becoming that is now an urgent problem. the future of europe obviously lays with europe, if it is to have one, and europe includes russia. most notably it does not include the usa.
