I don't know. With great respect for Mr. Kuntsler, he has been predicting the collapse of Western Europe for years. It is, of course, collapsing, but in a very slow and undramatic way, as it shifts to becoming dominated, populated, and ruled by Muslims. At the risk of repeating myself, when it come to talk of Germany/France/England staging a military intervention in Ukraine, they are saber-rattling without a saber. As the author of this post pointed out, those countries don't actually have functioning militaries capable of taking on Russia. . .I expect a lot more of the same, big talk as Russia finishes and wins its war in Ukraine.

I guess it all comes down to your definitions of slow and undramatic, but as an American resident of a European capital city, I'd call the change I've seen in the last 10 years pretty darned dramatic. I'll skip the litany of all that's gone to shit here and just say it has somehow managed to become a worst of all possible worlds: authoritarianism for wrongthink with a simultaneous descent into a squalid free-for-all of drugs, homelessness, property crime, violent crime, and on and on.

Do you think the problem might be that the people, around the world, really do not care who runs the show? Seventy years of globalist thinking and the reversal of population opinions about socialism have made BRICS+ and CRINK palatable to the people of Europe. The WW2 and Iron Curtain generations are dying.

Welp invite muzzie pigs to come live in your home, and then carp about the shits all over your floor, but you can’t figure out where it could coming from. They brought it on themselves, letting children, gay children,run their countries. Or ruin.

There’s a float of US dropping out of NATO. We may see European emperors without clothes - not a good sight.

At the very least NATO needs a reshaping. It is not current and is like an prize fighter overweight and out of shape and broke. Think Jack London’s “A piece of steak”. Russian Federation forces lean and hungry our fighter? Sopping up the gravey with white pieces of wonder bread. The US would do well to pull out of NATO and plum up the draw bridges on the Atlantic and Pacific moats…stick a fork I. Western Europe it is done…

Trump won't pull the US out of NATO, but he may well reduce our support and involvement in it.

Yes, never forget the beaming, demented Starmer hugging the dour Zelesnky and walking arm in arm with his co-ethnic.

Been hearing about and waiting for the end of the war in Ukraine for a few years now. Hoping something will finally happen to end that nightmare.

Sorta looks like he's correct then, in that it is happening.
