It is truly sad to see how we are losing the war for freedom in Europe.

- Europe bent on creating a war against Russia.

- Draconian regulations that have stifled all technological and industrial development.

- Cuts to both financial and social freedoms day after day.

- Rampant corruption among the political class.

- Loss of our values and culture.

- Total invasion by the African continent.

Clearly, this is the decline of a people; you don't have to be very smart to realize that. It has happened many times throughout history and cannot be reversed, at least in the short term.

The most recent and clearest example was the fall of the Roman Empire, which was literally a lost civilization. After its fall, many of the advances that the Romans had achieved disappeared for centuries, such as the transport of water through aqueducts and lead pipes, underfloor heating using thermal waters, construction with bricks and cement (a cement that, incidentally, has still not been surpassed in terms of technique), and the construction of roads that have lasted for two millennia, just like their buildings, etc.

In fact, after the fall of the Roman Empire, the Iberian Peninsula was invaded by the Muslims in just 15 years, from 711 to 726, and it took no less than 800 years to expel them. During this period of expulsion, which began with the battle of Covadonga in approximately 720 by Don Pelayo, the beginnings of modern European civilization were forged with the culmination of the birth of the great Spanish empire and the beginning of world trade.

History does not repeat itself, but sometimes it rhymes.
