Europe Does Not Matter!
Europe hasn't mattered since Europe self destructed
circa 1939 - 1945.

Quaint history.
Not much else.
Concorde was a failure without the crash.

China use to, Not Matter. Lots of ancient history.
But, China has reinvented itself and matters very much today.
What can one hope for Europe or any of its' parts?

Besides the Falklands War, when has any Euro nation demonstrated

that "they matter" since 1945?

Europe and its' parts matter about as much as China in the 1920's
and decades before.
Mighty history becoming just a shell of an empty egg.
China reinvented itself and today China matters.
Europe is just a cat's paw.

How is this not true?



Moi jealous!?
Moi lives in "The O.C."

 

China, basically an economic system that has to resort to slavery in order to compete.
I wonder how long that's going to last.

 

POINT: China matters.
Europe doesn't!

 

PRC isn't China, Taiwan is China. IMO.
PRC invaded China.
It's PRC and that's the reason China has high GDP, not China China, but Communist China.

Good luck betting on a system reliant of total state control over its people, how long can that last?

 

Still it remains,
Europe does not matter.
Nor France, Germany, United Kingdom, E.U. or whatever.
Europe just does not matter.
Just a rich suburb on the globe.

If Europe or any part did matter
let's see them manage some African hot spot or whatever
without involvement, including NATO.

Don't blame the system of China for the above!

 

You said it, 'rich suburb'.
I'll take it.

Matter for what other means?

Language?
Money?
War?

London has wealth.
I can pretty much understand anyone who speaks my language thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of miles away, in any direction.
War? You think UK doesn't war on terror?
We've got our own independent nukes too.

How many other Europeans can say all of that? Alas, not many.
