It's not that Europe doesn't matter... It is that Europe is being canibalised by a declining empire...

Brilliant analysis by Diesen and Wolff. What we are witnessing globally is a catastrophic failure of institutional intelligence. As Wolff points out, a declining superpower would rather defy history, geography, and economic logic than adapt to a multipolar world. Trapped in sheer hubris, the Western elite exhibits severe cognitive rigidity—repeating the same failed formulas louder and harder instead of restructuring their reality. When leadership replaces rational strategy with denial, humanity is pushed toward terrible, irreversible decisions. Exceptional content.

Flummery. U.S. has stage-managed WW-III to be fought on European soil, as you can see, well underway, and yes, with U.S. safely standing aside.
