A more independent Europe would need 180 degree turnarounds in everything from its social to its energy policies, rebuilding industries, and taping into domestic resources. This would mean the end of fracking bans, streamlining and fast-tracking mining projects, building out nuclear power, reforming (i.e. scaling back) the welfare state, reducing bureaucracy and ending the ongoing identity crisis caused by mass migration.

Until this happens, and there are no signs that it ever will, Europe has to play for time: Under current conditions, the EU is no match for China or the US, and building up geopolitical muscle will take years, if not decades.

Prognosis? Pain.
