#9 "Europe must also learn the language of power".

Messrs. Hobbes, Machiavelli, Bonaparte, Von Clausewitz, De Maistre, Nietzsche, Ulyanov, and Orwell would be surprised to hear that Europeans did not understand or speak the language of power.

Maybe Europeans need to spend a bit more time appreciating their cultural heritage instead of wishing it away in favor of multi-culti globalist transgendered postmodern bullshit.

#10 Translation: we don't have the hard power to keep the sovereign states beholding to our dictates.
