I have wondered for years why Europeans, and the British most of all, have a wild hate boner for Russia, until the other day when I heard the only plausible reason I have ever encountered: European countries are afraid of losing their relevance in the world, and nowhere is this more true than in Britain, which had the world's biggest empire ever just 100 years ago. Russia remains a major power while all of Europe is sinking into irrelevance. In another generation, people will look to China and even India as greater powers, politically and economically, than all of non-Russian Europe combined.
Britain is arguably the hardest hit country in recent times. Quality of life there is becoming unbearable due to oppressive government and endless migration of Muslims who want to take over the culture and society and Indians who also wish to rule from high positions in business and politics.
And, of course, this is a horrible fate. What's happening to Europeans is inhumane. They are being genocided with the participation of their own governments and are not allowed to fight back against their extermination.
In a way, I am more patriotic about and loyal to Europe than to America, even though I am a burger. My ancestry is European (entirely German) and I know our entire civilization is the creation of Europeans and their labors over the centuries. Britain, France, Germany, and Italy have probably done more to shape the world than any other places on earth, with the USA being a heavy hitter but too recent to rank alongside these countries, and Greece being close to the greatness list.
Britain might have the strongest claim of any country to being the most influential society in world history, though the competition with France, Germany, and Italy is fierce.

So, how can we make Europe great again, and I mean truly great? Great enough to rule the world again. And particularly, how do we fix the UK, which is in the throes of utter collapse?

Okay, I'll say it: The accusation that the British have behaved in a perfidious, manipulative manner in world affairs, from Continental Europe to their colonies, is true. But that manipulativeness, that divide and rule mentality, does not make Britain bad, just effective.
"Divide et Impera," which means divide and rule, was the maxim of the Roman Senate. It's nothing new, and it's what effective empires do to remain on top. It's not evil.
Britain has brought more success and progress to the world than perhaps any other country, through both the Industrial Revolution and, even earlier, its liberal tradition of thought, focusing on rights, economic growth, trade, and humanism. Yeah, I said it: liberalism is not evil, and people love it. It's why the West is where everyone not in the West wants to go.
They want our freedom, and Britain did more to give the world freedom than any other country ever has.

Colonialism and imperialism are just natural mechanisms whereby a more advanced civilization spreads its progress to more backward cultures. Humans are not saints, so we in advanced countries do not just give our progress to others out of the goodness of our hearts. Instead, we conquer the more backward cultures and use their resources and people, but in the process of doing so, our advanced civilization spreads to them and they begin to advance too.
Imperialism is just a mechanism for diffusing concentrated progress, both technological and social progress.
France developed differently than England did. It goes all the way back to the time of King John and his counterpart in France.
John's failures in warring with France led to a weakening of the British monarchy that enabled the lords to force the Magna Carta upon King John, and of course the commoners got the Charter of the Forest.
English liberalism begins there: in a weak English Crown vs. a strong French Crown. Since John's reign, Englishmen, and then later on, all Brits, have held more rights and freedom.
