#2I’m sorry but Europe is its own menace. Maybe stop blaming others or relying on others and act like an adult.

You speak from a position of authority, of course. Not sure who in your view Europe is blaming. I guess, all was well as long as Europe bought US fighter jets. Now that they "grow up" and realize they may be better off with European ones ( Gripen) plus keeping a lid on US social media companies - that doesn't go done all too well. Besides, German company Rheinmetall is biggest supplier of ammunition to Ukraine. https://www.rheinmetall.com/en/media/stories/2023/rheinmetal.... So much so that Moscow attempted to assassinate its CEO.https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-tried-assassinat...
Pretty adult all that, no?

#4“Abandoned by America”? Every European I know walks around with a diatribe about the US wound up in their heads. Give them a little push on the topic and they’ll talk for hours.

#5> Europe is also going to have to change its political mindset. Lavish pensions and other elements of Europe’s social model are going to have to be temporarily curbed to help give Europe the fiscal space and physical resources to fight off its enemies. All nuclear plants need to be restarted, and Europe should build more nuclear, ignoring “green” parties and environmental activists who irrationally hate nuclear power. Europe needs to reform its land-use regulation to require greater construction of solar and wind power. And Europe is going to have to back off of its aggressive regulation of AI software, in order to produce cutting-edge autonomous weaponry.
Is there a Make Europe Great Again (MEGA) movement? This guy would make a great spokesperson for them.

#6I like to challenge myself to TL;DR these things:
* The Deluge: 17th century double invasion of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth by Sweden + Russia.
* America has lost faith in Europe. Cold war is over, administration doesn't value European trade.
* American right is racist and no longer cares about democracy.
* Russia plans to invade Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Finland, and Moldova. Alleges that China is helping.
* Europe is facing another "deluge" because it's under attack on two fronts.
* Solutions: reindustrialize, remilitarize, cut pensions, befriend India.
Did I miss anything?

Ever heard of Helsing https://helsing.ai/ or Quantum Systems https://quantum-systems.com/?
Just two examples. There are more.

Never going to happen. Nobody has balls to oppose pensioners, because they are a massive voting block and effectively deciding elections. Europe is not a country for young people.

Noah is living in USA, so maybe he thinks that Europe has some great love for USA.

#10This guy is so overrated. His essays read like those of a well read stoner doing free association.
