Key Points:

  • Germany’s energy policies have led to electricity costs that are four times higher than in the U.S.
  • The country’s industrial sector, especially the auto industry, is suffering due to high energy costs and green regulations.
  • Germany’s military has been significantly reduced, with only 180,000 active soldiers and minimal military assets.
  • The country’s fertility rate is dangerously low, and immigration policies have led to a large foreign-born population.
  • Germany’s self-inflicted decline mirrors the Morgenthau Plan’s intended de-industrialization and depopulation of post-WWII Germany.

Hi, I’m Victor Davis Hanson, today I’d like to talk about the crisis facing Europe, specifically its self-implosion across the spectrum—energy, population, fertility, defense.
