Europe is preparing for war against Russia. A war against the most powerful military nation and superpower in the world. How stupid is that? Only delusional narcissists can up with such dangerous madness and take everybody with them to a potentially nuclear Armageddon.
I wrote a thesis on the EU as a peace project. I should have known better as I’m an historian and know that the path of humanity is not smooth or predictable
Jeffrey Sachs' comments highlighted the USA's subordination of Europe, and the lingering effect of the American 'Partition of Eurasia' after 1945, as the historian John Darwin put it. But he did not talk much about the institutions and people in Europe that might at last end the USA's de facto occupation of Europe. Emmanuel Todd recently said peace will return to Eurasia when ultimately American power is destroyed and the USA leaves or is thrown out of Eurasia. Here again Europe is a natural partner of Russia and China, and Japan and India. Could you interview Emmanuel Todd?
The wider shared context here is the historical failure of social democracy as a policy brainchild of the 1930s, in the US and Europe. The impulsive instinct today e.g. in Germany or Pennsylvania is nationalist industrial policy. But the political base of social democracy no longer exists, the old industrial proletariat is now one among many interest groups defending their place in national society. Most of the world today is petit-bourgeois in orientation, nobody aspires to be a proletarian as they did in the 1930s. The cult of the small business entrepreneur is what fires people up in places like America or Brazil, because that's the main engine of economic betterment at the scale of the family. Europe needs an economic miracle, but so does America and so does China. Economic growth miracles are not so easy to come by. What worked for America and Europe in the 1990s no longer works. But these national political economies are still based on the social democratic settlement of the 1930s. Remember the Meiji restoration in Japan, that's the kind of bold transformation that's needed if America or Europe want to reinvent themselves. Otherwise things will go on as they are now and as they have been since the 1930s. At least until until the Boomers and their children die off.
For the beginning the separation of Europe from Big daddy I would call it a “Haitianisation” it’s more than an isolation, it’s back to the 19 century. All depends how Germany will recover from this blow and with this recovery, France, GB and the rest of Europe might benefit also. France is not the economic driver, it has always a follower of Germany.

The USA is a controlled country to the detriment of its citizens. These controllers use the might of the USA to impose their will on the EU/NATO.
