As U.S. imperial hegemony buckles under its own contradictions, Europe clings tighter—not out of confidence, but out of fear. In the age of Trump’s technofascist recalibration, the EU remains a silent partner in decline.
I. Europe Waffles as the World Shifts
As the U.S. ramps up its economic war against China—slapping tariffs, militarizing supply chains, and threatening allies—Europe quietly nods along. Behind closed doors, European firms grumble. Publicly, their leaders fall in line.
The Le Monde headline says it all: Europe is “not looking to forge a common front with China.” But what it doesn’t say is more important: Europe isn’t forging anything. It’s following the leash.
II. Strategic Autonomy: Myth or Marketing?
After Trump’s first term, the EU flirted with the idea of “strategic autonomy.” But it never moved beyond slogans. In reality, Europe’s so-called independence has been shaped by 70 years of U.S. occupation—military, economic, and ideological.
NATO is U.S.-led. The dollar still dominates financial markets. Intelligence coordination runs through Washington. And when Trump returned in 2024 with his technofascist, hyper-imperialist agenda, Europe didn’t push back. It adjusted.
III. Empire by Default: Atlanticism as Class Policy
Europe’s ruling class isn’t confused. It knows where the real power is—and it’s not in Brussels, Berlin, or Paris. It’s in Washington. Atlanticism isn’t a security doctrine. It’s a material allegiance to the empire that rebuilt Western Europe after World War II and never really let go.
U.S. unipolar hegemony may be in crisis, but European capital would rather sink with the empire than float with the South. Even as BRICS+ offers trade, infrastructure, and financial alternatives, Europe stays in the imperial sandbox.
IV. The Crisis of Western Imperialism, Up Close
What we’re watching isn’t European diplomacy—it’s the regional expression of a broader crisis. U.S. imperialism, facing long-term economic decline and multipolar resistance, is recalibrating through militarized trade wars and proxy destabilizations.
Trump’s second term, wrapped in the language of nationalism, is doubling down on technofascism at home and hyper-imperialism abroad. The goal is to maintain global dominance not through consent, but through coercion. Europe’s role? Provide cover, resources, and diplomatic camouflage.
V. BRICS+, Multipolarity, and the European Fear
Europe has options. It could join BRICS+ initiatives, explore de-dollarized trade, or even engage with China’s Belt and Road. But it won’t. Because that would mean choosing autonomy over comfort. Risk over ritual. Sovereignty over servitude.
And Europe’s bourgeoisie isn’t ready for that. Its banks are entangled with Wall Street. Its militaries are aligned with the Pentagon. Its media is fed by U.S. think tanks. Its ruling class was never interested in independence—only in a bigger cut of the imperial pie.
VI. Conclusion: The Decline Is Mutual
Europe is not an independent pole in world politics. It is the most refined, eloquent, and polite extension of U.S. imperial power. A junior partner. A diplomatic echo chamber. An empire-in-decline’s last velvet glove.
As multipolarity advances, Europe will be left behind—unless it breaks the leash, reclaims its sovereignty, and joins the world beyond the empire.
The door is open. But the clock is ticking.
