The reality is that Europe, like the US, is becoming increasingly irrelevant in the world of geo-politics.
Recently there was a summit to discuss the situation in Gaza and ways forward for Palestinians and the Middle East. That summit did not take place in Washington or Brussels; it took place in Beijing. The significance of that cannot be overstated.
This is the second Arab-China summit on Palestine. And the Old Western order was not invited and did not have a seat at the table. Although, of course, their spies relayed all necessary information back to them.
