Zero Hedge: The European Union has been, in the immortal words of Private Hudson from Aliens, “… on an express elevator to hell, going down,” for a long time now.
From the day of then ECB President Mario Draghi’s “We will do whatever it takes” speech in July 2012 to today, the EU has chosen a path of fiscal, foreign and monetary policy insanity that has lead it directly to where it is today, the sick man at the geopolitical table.
The most recent missive from the great Alistair Crooke over at Strategic Culture Foundation has some very choice words for Europe as well as his always trenchant analysis.
“Two events have combined to make a major inflection point for Europe: The first was America’s abandonment of the Great Game ploy of attempting to keep the two Central Asian great land powers – Russia and China – divided and at odds with each other.

- Charlemagne ruled much of Western Europe from 768 to 814
- Napoleon conquered much of Europe during the French Revolution (1789-1799)Cha

It is entirely possible the next white horse rider will be the final dictator of Revelation 6:1-2. The future ruler will come quietly as the 11th leader among a restructured ten-nation or region empire.
“The ten horns are ten kings
Who shall arise from this kingdom.
And another shall rise after them;
He shall be different from the first ones,
And shall subdue three kings.” Daniel 11:24
With three kings deposed, the seven world rulers will follow Antichrist giving him unpresented power to unleash the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21).
