the only way I can see Europe becoming something of an independent and stronger force in the world is if the EU somehow becomes a proper federation but also embraces more of the values that would sustain itself and refocus their efforts on both native reproduction, capitalism and return to actual western values like free speech, liberal values and some kind of collective ideology or religion.
sadly I don't think that's going to happen as these values have been eroding for decades, nations still cling to the desires of national identity (while ironically ignoring the demographic issues and mass migration problems) and religion has been on the decline for decades as well with the only new religions taking shape are either Islam, Wokeism and communism/socialism while firmly rejecting anything close to fascism, extreme nationalism or even some secular, competitive, hyper environmentalism.
it is rather depressing to see how far we've fallen and how both the USA, Russia, China, the middle-east and Africa seem posed to take advantage of it or even if we somehow turned this all around would team up and kick us down again.
there was some hope that maybe slowly getting Russia into the EU or at least some kind of economic alliance would benefit us both to remain competitive and then the war started in 2022 which is not only hurting us and Russia, it's also throwing away many young people's lives and potentially risks nuclear war and drives us further apart from where we could have gone.
what little hope is left is that people know things are bad, there are some signs of political disruption of the elites that helped caused all this, pushback against immigration and woke ideology but it will get worse before it starts to get any better and in the meantime we will have to endure being the humiliated third place between the world powers of the USA and China and risk falling yet further behind others.
what a mess.
