Europe Has Failed

The European Union Has Failed at Everything It's Doing

"The European Union has failed as a cultural enterprise, as a geopolitical enterprise. It's got difficult relations with the United States. It's destroyed its relations with Russia. It's destroying its relations with China. It's failed at everything it's doing."
Description

Alexander Mercouris delivers a devastating assessment of the European Union's comprehensive failure. After decades of grand promises, the EU has become a stagnant economic bloc with declining industries and living standards. It can't negotiate trade deals, control migration, or maintain relationships with major powers. Growth has disappeared, and the union survives only by instrumentalizing conflict with Russia to retain control over European populations. When your only selling point is "protection from dark forces in the east," you've admitted complete policy bankruptcy.
