Europe is dying.

To put it bluntly, it is becoming an appendage to the U.S. and its death is certain — at least symbolically, which is more important. Even energy resources will be coming from America. They say that this is a liberation from "dependence on Russian energy." This is actually a gift from the Danes. We know what the Danes' gifts lead to; they lead to catastrophes. American liquid gas isn't even a gift. We are paying so much; as a result, we are becoming even more dependent.

Europe did not become a strong and independent player in the global political playing field. It could not surpass its own infantile behavior. It always needs patronage and protection. It turned into a colony that cannot think on its own. This is the scariest form of dependency. The lack of natural gas and oil can always be compensated for. When you don't have the desire or capability to think independently, you're doomed. This is why I don't see any hope for Europe.

Европа загива. Или по-конкретно казано, превръща се в придатък - мисловен и материален - на САЩ. А това си е сигурна смърт. Поне на символно ниво. Което е и най-важното. Сега дори енергоресурсите ще идват от Америка. Казват, че това било освобождение от "руската енергийна зависимост". Всъщност тове е данайски дар. А знаем от Омир до какво водят даровете на данайците. До катастрофа. На всичкото отгоре американският втечнен газ дори не е дар. Ше плащаме двойно и тройно и в резултат ще бъдем още по-зависими. Европа така и не успя да стане силен и независим играч на световната геополитическа сцена. Така и не надскочи инфантилизма. Вечно има нужда някой да я покровителства и пази. Превърна се в колония, която дори не може да мисли самостоятелно. И това е най-страшната зависимост. Липсата на природен газ и нефт все някак могат да бъдат компенсирани. Когато обаче нямаш способността, а и желанието да разсъждаваш самостоятелно, когато просто повтаряш чуждите мисловни схеми, си обречен. Затова и не виждам спасение за Европа.
