The Europeans do not have the stomach for facing the world without the US. They have been too long inside our protective walls. If the US truly does shift it’s focus elsewhere Europe will likely become a client state of Russia.

[Alas Babylon!]

I doubt it. Russia will also decline. She has VAST problems, stemming from a very sharply declining birth rate of native Slavs, rampant alcoholism, and a surging Islamic population among non-Slavs.

The declining birth rate and rising Muslim tide is a problem for all Europe, from the Atlantic to the Urals and beyond.

What happens in the next twenty years will probably determine Europe’s—including Russia’s—fate as to whether they become Islamic or not. If they become Islamic, they’ll lose their prosperity completely.

you are aware of the fact that the EU states do spend a lot more money on defence (not in % of Gdp of course and still not enought in my oppinion but anyway because of the big size of the EU ecconomy the final result is a lot more money) than Russia does?
