What is left of Europe?
Alliance with America, No more there! NATO is dead, even in the eyes of President Zelensiky of Ukraine, he has openly called for the formation of European Defense Force, which is supposedly to include his country, in the place of current day NATO.
Economy is in decline for over years by now.
Politically fragmented within the individual states and within EU itself. Some member states are led by right wing parties, while some are still on the left, agreeing with almost anything but division for the policy creation.
Resource, did they have any to begin with? I am not sure, Europe used to produce high quality products and exported them to the rest of the world. The German car industry is now no more competitive on the global market, Chinese have overtaken Germans in this regard.
Technologically Europe has been lagging behind the top riders in this regard as well, notably US, China, India and ever other smaller Far-East nations.
They are being thrown out of Africa, many Africans are now suspicious of anything Europe and prefer to align themselves with Asian countries.
The final demise of European empire ambition is already on the horizon.
