REPLY: That is on point Allen. These European leaders are living in the past. Their history of previous imperial greatness has become the core part of a their view of their nation’s story about itself—a “golden age.” It’s a source of immense cultural pride, artistic achievement, and historical identity. Reconnecting with that past is seen as healing. The establishment of the EU was supposed to defeat the dollar. That failed. Their claims that a combined GDP would exceed the US never materialized because they are socialists and had to control everything. Their perceived national greatness failed before their eyes and war is now the cover up for a humiliating period of decline.
