Europe will fall back on old tried and true ways of doing things. Nationalism—uniforms—a strong leader, a Napoleon, A Musollini, a Franco, a Hitler. Lots of folks will die—but will Europe be saved? I think so—but the dream of the United States of Europe is dead.
That’s what I’ve being saying. They will revert to old ways.
The period of european stability is recent and quite short - about 1 generation. Before that the normal routine was one war after another.
