I was hinting at Europe's modest position in the world with the suggestion they would be better off integrating into the BRICS and Eurasia instead of trying to become a fourth great power.

I was hinting at Europe's modest position in the world with the suggestion they would be better off integrating into the BRICS and Eurasia instead of trying to become a fourth great power. We'll know in ten years but I struggle to believe that Europe will indeed accomplish empire but they will at least give it a try for a few years. I do believe that as separate members of BRICS, some European nations could reverse their decline, particularly those in the east.
Eastern Europe, I agree. Western Europe is done for unless the current nonentities get kicked out, which is possible I suppose, but then I think the economic and social damage will be irreversible soon. Could see Eastern Europeans in BRICS, but struggle to see Britain, France or Germany joining due to the massive loss of face involved and not sure their former colonies in BRICS would let them join. Life is looking sad and lonely for them
Western European nations are like an alcoholic who has not yet hit rock bottom. If they changed tomorrow they may be able to make something of themselves but it is highly unlikely that they have any self-awareness of the state they are in and the trajectory they are on. They will need a century of humiliation to turn thing around.
