100% accurate. It is delusional to believe that Europe has ever been capable of anything outside of token "rebellion" - equivalent to a child's tantrums when they feel wronged. In the end, they still have to go back to their parents' house, because they are incapable of independence.
How the US achieved this degree of hegemony over Europe, really should be studied. But I have a strong feeling it has to do with control of international media, social media (via Google, Facebook, Reddit, etc.), and the financial markets. All the industries that the US tried to push onto other countries, including China, via the "free market" and "free speech" demands. So far, only a few countries have effectively resisted the demands, and it isn't a surprise that those countries are the ones most capable of resisting the US and which the US labeled the new Axis of Evil.
