Europe is really losing on all sides these days: losing its cheap energy from Russia, losing whatever remained of its manufacturing to the US with the Inflation Reduction Act, losing its relations with the Global South due to its gobsmacking geopolitical incompetence, losing the next generation with plummetting education levels (check the latest OECD PISA results), losing the innovation and R&D race to the US and China, just losing, losing, losing.
