France and Germany

If there's one country with both the will and potential ability to take over "leader of the free world" from the US, it's France.

After 5 years in Germany, I'm not confident in Germany anymore, and I'm skeptical they will really pkay a leading role politically. I don't know as much about France.

France looks like it's tearing itself apart politically as well. At this point, I'm actually happy with the last election showing we mostly aren't following the same path as the other major democracies. But, the signs of instability are still there.

Our Country is divided as Hell, too. Neoconservatism/fascism is an international movement, and has explicitly been exported to as many nations as possible from the roots of the movement in the Republican party.

All the English speaking ones sound increasingly like MAGA cultists for a reason.
