@marekkac7046 I agree with the economic argument but I think eastern europe ironically is more liberal minded than western europe is, leaders here lock people up in their homes, jail journalists, fund and support extremist far left causes, regulate the economy into oblivion, bring in migrants beyond the means of dealing with them or assimulating them at the cost of native citizens, they ban fertilizer that ensures food for everyone during a food crisis, wellfare spending is way, way higher than in eastern europe and western europe is very censorship heavy.
sure eastern europe is not a liberal wonderland compared to western europe on specific issues but overal I think western europe is more of a mess right now than most of eastern europe is, they know what it's like under the bad days of communism, western europe is still very naive and unware of that and I say this as someone living in western europe.
I would like to see eastern europe become stronger tied to western europe both politically and economically to be a good counterweight like how the south in the USA is more conservative compared to the coastal states, that's the ideal though, in practice we have to wait and see.

I don't have time to watch this in full but I expect it will talk about how Europe has low birthrates, lets in migrants and how they somehow want to copy the USA or how they are dependent on the USA for everything which has been a repeated theme with whatifalthist video's for a while now.
And much of this is actually not that accurate, low birthrates and migrants yes but Europe has been moving away from the USA for quite some time now and will continue to do so, culturally it's hard for americans to see native european culture, movies, songs and series but they exist and are quite popular but they are very local and hard for americans to understand.
Just because Europeans love eating a burger or pizza does not mean that is a sign of american hegemony, it just means they like burgers and pizza.
American movies and tv shows have been on the decline in quality and quanity for a while now and local series or UK remain a big chuck of entertainment, USA is the only global game in town because everyone speaks english as a second language.
as for the EU it's moving to become more and more of a federal state and is less inclined to trust or build on the USA which can change within each 4 year election cycle and is very polorized to say the least.
Europe has problems for sure but if you compare Europe to the problems in most of the middle-east, africa, India, south america, Russia or even China we are doing very well for ourselfs and trying to take steps to become better, the issue is that americans are safe from the fallout of their own actions, Europe is right next to hostile powers like Russia, problems in Africa Hit Europe first same with the middle-east and China has no human rights to worry about while we attempt to actually held them up (unlike the USA)
I would say Europe's biggest issue is that it has to implement full federalization of the EU and tackle these global issues that come to their shores from outside and they need to realise and fund a better more united military to match both the USA and Russia in order to maintain some kind of order as the US led world order slowly falls apart.
