EUROPE’S DECLINE IS SELF-INFLICTED - AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT

Europe today has no serious internet sector, no global tech champions, and no innovation engine capable of competing with the U.S. or Asia.

Its economy is stagnant, its industrial base is hollowing out, unemployment remains structurally high, and energy dependency has become a permanent vulnerability.

This is not bad luck, it is the result of deliberate choices.

Crippling regulation, punitive taxes, ideological climate policies, and hostility toward free markets have suffocated growth and driven capital elsewhere.

Europe lectures the world on values while importing energy, outsourcing innovation, and regulating itself into irrelevance.

To rebuild anything, infrastructure, industry, competitiveness, Europe would need to deregulate, cut taxes, abandon climate absolutism, and embrace real market economics.

These are reforms Europe refuses to make, even as its decline accelerates.

The tragedy is not that Europe cannot compete, it is that it chooses not to.
