Europe is either going to war with Russia or it is going to do a 360 and walk away from Ukraine.

Europe doesn't have cheap labour, therefore to be industrially competitive they need cheap energy. US gas is too expensive and Europe is hurting. Europe is finally seriously diversifying gas supplies but it's come too late and Europe will face a decade of stagnation. Azerbaijan, Qatar, Cyprus, etc. will eventually connect to Europe. But they need to reach Germany which is where all the industry has been concentrated due to the common market. Every country along the route will charge a transit fee, this is precisely why Germany built a direct pipeline to Russia in the first place.

China gets cheap energy, Europe gets expensive energy. Europe gets less competitive, China keeps it's advantage. There is simply no way to spin this as good for Europe.

Euro-normies have been "okay" with migrants for 30+ years, now suddenly they're revolting. The reason is that their quality of life is declining and migrants are the low-hanging fruit. The expansive EU project is the next item on the list, when the masses turn on that it's either fight or revert course.
