And WHAT did I say about ROME? Ancient Greece? Egypt? I adore them as matters of history. I will bore you to death, given the chance, as I describe in great detail the EPIC natures of these cultures. Does Rome matter today? Here and now in the modern era? Does Greece? Ancient Egypt? Is the world Roman as it once was? Don’t think so kids. Do I respect the history of Rome? You bet and it is fun as all get out. Do I think Rome will rise to enter the world game? Nope, all gone now and never coming back as far as I can tell.
I did not say Europe is FAIL. I enjoy the foods, art and cultures just fine. I am addicted to strange German music and think German Fetish stuff rules! What I SAID, boils down to this. Right now, in the world, Europe is not a major player in the game. If Russia, China and the U.S. were not at odds, we could (Being totally evil of course) roll over Europe, kill the men, burn it to the ground and rape the women and the horses. There is nothing Europe could do to compete militarily OR economically as European nations attempt to stall their lurch towards Jihad and Muslim rule.
