Issues that Zehian highlights in this video
>2nd oldest population in the world and aging fast, only China is worse
>Not enough immigration to offset their aging population, annual immigration will need to triple if Europe wants any hope of surviving the next decade
>High energy prices and lack of fossil fuels means that they are deindustrializating fast, their industry moving to cheap energy countries like America, India and Mexico
>Deglobalisation and breakdown in global order will result the EU breaking up(Brexit) and Europe going back to a bunch of warring states, Ukraine-Russia is the first example. There will be dozens of wars breaking out in Europe once America stops policing Europe and once global trade breaks down
>Rise of emerging superpowers like Turkey and Israel right on Europe's doorstep, that will seek a sphere of influence over Europe that will lead to conflict
>Cannot innovate, completely dependent on American technology
>Has to get fossil fuels and other resources from Russia, Africa, Middle East and America, no domestic fossil fuel or mineral resource at all
>Massive internal issues, conflicts over the far right/left, refugees, religion, immigrants will result in unheard levels of civil unrest and even civil wars soon
Europe will collapse by the mid 2030s unless they drastically increase immigration. They will not fall as fast or hard as China, but they will collapse nonetheless. Zeihan says that the only chance Europe has for survival is that it's still a pretty good destination for immigration, and Europe has to attract as much immigrants as they can to offset their aging population before said aging population fucks up the continent so badly that even African immigrants don't want to move there anymore. And even then it doesn't change all the other issues that Europe faces like their inability to innovate, or their lack of fossil fuel resources.
