      Have you ever moved from one country to another? I’ve done it five times in my life. Every time took a large amount of doing, and required money to both move and get started in the new place. Had to find jobs and an affordable place to live. Had to get through the immigration procedures (either have a well-paying job lined up when you move or have a local spouse). Had to learn new languages and adapt to the local cultures. Had to build new social connections. And more.

      With that in mind, how many people can we honestly say are able to just pick up and move? And the list of new places to go to, where the conditions are favorable, is quickly shrinking.

        The other option, is you get used to the new way of life after the economic collapse and if you survive the civil war you can help rebuild.

            Energy dependency, reduced manufacturing capabilities, political divide, immigration, unsustainable social programs with a shrinking birthrates required to maintain that pyramid scheme.

                Most likely in the next generation or sooner. With the middle east being incredibly reliant on food imports, and the rising cost of food production due to American controlling world oil supply with the recent wars, and the EU being reliant of Russia energy and now American energy, they are going to have 100’s of million starving people immigrating north into Europe. This is going to cripple there already weak economy and they will be overrun.

                And even is that doesn’t happen (it most likely will, as it’s already happening) they are still on track to go bankrupt from birth shortages and won’t be able to maintain there social programs.

                My guess is Europe will split during ww3.
