Sharp analysis on how Trump is splitting the West at a civilizational level, not just diplomatic. The latinization trajectory for the US paired with Europe needing to rebuild foundational identity after outsourcing strategy feels spot-on. I've watched organizations lose institutional knoledge after offshoring core functions, this seems like the geopolitical version of that. The question is whether Europe can actually develop independent foriegn policy or if bureaucratic inertia wins.

I think we’re basically at peak managerialism now, so that any change requires stripping out current systems and their inertia.
There’s no reason Europe can’t build its own policy, but it needs to come complete with a lot of other changes.
