    You can also kiss the EU way of life goodbye.

    George Freidman, CEO of Stratfor, which is the largest private intel group erote a book in 2009 called The Next 100 Years. In that book he described how they wanted to make POLAND the next head of Europe over Germany.

    I suggest people to read it. Yes he’s a neocon goul, but it lays bare their so called plans for humanity quite vividly.

     > the 2010s, the conflict between the US and Islamic fundamentalists will die down, and a second Cold War, less extensive and shorter than the first, will take place between the United States and Russia. It will be characterized by Russian attempts to expand its sphere of influence into Central and Eastern Europe, coupled with a buildup of Russian military capabilities. During this period, Russia’s military will pose a regional challenge to the United States. The United States will become a close ally to some Central and Eastern European countries, all of whom will be dedicated to resisting Russian geopolitical threats during this period. Friedman speculates in the book that the United States will probably become a close ally of some Central and Eastern European countries: Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania. Around 2015, a Polish-led military alliance of countries in Central and Eastern Europe will begin to form, which is referred to in the book as the “Polish Bloc.”

    Now what happend around 2015? Trump. Then COVID. It disrupted the timeline especially when Trump fired Bolton, but not before Bolton and Trump tore up the old Cold War treaties and basicslly threw the door wide open for what we’re seeing today. It just delayed things a few years.

      Oh yeah, I expect that Europe is headed for some bad times. There is a lot of animosity between different countries, and those have been papered over by EU when the economic conditions were good. Now that the standards of living are crashing we’re going to see all these underlying problems bubble back up to the surface. We’re seeing the start of that with Poland demanding reparations from Germany for example.

      I expect the next wave of governments is going to be ultra nationalistic and countries are going to start doing ladder pulling to secure whatever resources they can for themselves The whole EU concept is simply not viable in this scenario, and I think countries are going to start pulling out of it soon. Hungary is the most likely near future candidate for that. EU is already blocking a bunch of their funds right now.

      I also expect that once countries leave the EU they’re gonna start trying to repair relations with Russian and China because they’re gonna need economic support and energy. So the whole Atlanticist project is going to start coming apart in the near future.
