Sad thing is, he isn't wrong. Re-arming, re-industrialization, self-reliance, re-capitalization of financial markets - all of those things are needed. And, by the way, Trump told the EU this eight years ago.
And yet, none of those things will be done. They can't. Money will be printed, borrowed, and taxed, and then lost to "safe" hedging by layers and layers of bureaucrats - and even by the private sector! So they can have none of the direct responsibility and all the credit for initiatives that won’t happen in the end - or, in other words, so they can have a safe job and a cushy pension.
Europe, in all its choices for the last 30 years, at minimum, played everything safe - and now, no one knows how to play it any other way!
You would have to take a sledgehammer to every bureaucrat's head, every institution, every school, every bank, in every state, and then burn down the whole city of Brussels with the EU like a pagan offering to the goddess Fortuna, and maybe, just maybe, fortune would change.
I, for one, am looking forward to the fire.
