Anyone noticed that in 1900, 7 world powers were located in Europe (including Turkey even though they are not Europeans).
The power of France, England Turkey and Austria ended with WWI
The power of Germany and Italy ended with WWII
Russia is the only one that remains, and even if you consider them to only be a pretend power that is in reality very weak (like the Ottomans), they are regardless the only European country even pretending to be a world power. What are the ramifications of our continent having no powers at all? Africa tier?
There nukes are more of burden than Russian or American nukes, because of how anti nuclear there population's are. No frog/bong politician can vaguely threaten nukes without there pops rioting. Putin does and the Russian civies jizz there pants

I’m pretty sure the UK actually still has better global power projection than Russia.
Isaac Gray
>Put up a very good fight in WWI too. Only when we were told to land in the very centre of their empire with limited support But in the open of the Middle East they got slapped by half drunk bogans on ponies
Carson Wright
State of UK projection isn't as bad as you think it is. Unironically the BBC worldwide service is incredibly influential in swathes of africa and asia.
Ethan Martinez
Name a country the UK could invade to annex territory from.
Jordan Perry
Jews destroying tge source of what is good in the world, the birthplace of white humans and the real diversity they represent.
Colton Rogers
Argentina?
Adrian Roberts
Siege of Qut? or however it is spelled.
Matthew Collins
The only world power in Europe is actually the UK. No other blue-water navy and nuclear power at the same time there. Simple as that.
Ian Fisher
Beeresheba, Cav rode into their arty faster than they could lower them.
Got in under the guns and messed them up.
Chase Smith
France has a carrier and will add another soon.
James Ramirez
whats the benefit of being a world power
Gavin Hall
Currently there are only 3 Great Powers I can recognize: China, USA and Russia. France and the UK are merely relics of the old times with virtually no control over their own foreign policy due to NATO and the USA.
Navies aren't worth shit if Ivan or Chang can load up his truck with missiles to hit the ship.
Landon Price
I don’t think they have the manpower to really invade or hold anywhere I was talking in terms of projection. The UK has bases on every continent and could probably put boots on the ground almost everywhere if need be. Russia meanwhile doesn’t have any military presence outside the Middle East and Europe. It would be literally impossible for them to attack a South American country for example.
America please this is a thread for rising powers not declining ones.
William Diaz
United States of Europe could be a player that could sit at the same table as Usa China, Russia and maybe at some point India. Not gonna happen tho, we will remain pawns played against eachother
Andrew Perez
You have the freedom to forge your nation's own future.
Sebastian Hughes
Veto power on the UN security council Status nukes Get to fuck with Canada
Dylan Myers
>Same as Americans thinking the Queen is still super powerful The monarchs are still the ones in power in northwestern european countries and that's a fact
Jaxson Lee
Which America will get the vote after civil war 2?
Being God on earth both feels good and tiring at the same time
Lol they could send like 3 or 4 subs to blockade a city like Lima and Peru would be there's in a week
Jaxon Johnson
Britain and France are still global powers
Jaxson Johnson
OP said it's a thread for euro powers that declined nearly a century ago, so by your definition US would fit in with the declining powers. Australia wouldn't be included at all, because it never tried to be anything at all even though it could have, total underachiever's. Could have become the superpower of the southern hemisphere, instead you just kinda exist.
Nolan Murphy
pwned
Henry Diaz
Elaborate, they literally cannot project power anywhere without the mutts intervening.
Asher Johnson
> Imagine thinking this
Charles Robinson
I wouldn't call the US a declining power yet. It has definitely plateaued though, probably due to demographic change
Luke Ward
Plenty of time to sleep once your empires dead. Should be in about 3 months aat the current rate of inflation and crude oil prices.
Cameron Young
Europe is just waiting out this terrible America thing that's still going on unexpectedly. But they're getting blacked so hard and fast they won't be a problem much longer.
Connor Reyes
We have to wait for you to die off first. Thats the advantage of our criminal heritage, we all have an innate cunning.
Kevin Ward
Why some of you retards include Turkey?
Ian Taylor
I think the uniparty has been bought and paid for by China, unless something dramatic happens both parties candidates will continue to drive us into the ground and let china takeover.
We are diligently striving for that goal it seems. Do think Australia should get the bomb, would really fuck with world politics
