I said elsewhere how America is not gonna fade away just because we are a little behind China and will soon be a bit behind India.
Europe is not gonna fade away either.
Europe is in a Golden Age!
With the European Union, Europe is in a Golden Age the likes of which they haven't seen since the Black Plague and the end of the High Middle Ages!
The only thing that comes close is the last 45 years or so before World War I. But that led to the World Wars. This will not.
Europe is not gonna fade away!
Europe is in the middle of the greatest period of peace Europe has known since the fall of the Roman Empire in the west!
Europe is not gonna fade away.
Europe is in a Golden Age!
And the declining population?
That is Europe returning to its natural balance.
There are too many people on this old Earth. It's too crowded. The declining population is a good thing. It indicates maturity, not decline.
The rest of this old Earth will soon enter that maturity and have a declining population too. And the Earth will return to its natural balance.
Europe is in a Golden Age!
Europe will not fade away!
Sincerely,
David S. Annderson
