Nationalism and the Future of Europe

This chapter reflects on remarks made at the Munich Security Conference, critiquing European bureaucrats for limiting free speech and urging a reclaiming of sovereignty. It explores the rise of populism, advocating for grassroots movements over centralized authority, and examines the implications for international relations, particularly concerning the U.S. and China. The discussion also assesses the cultural tensions between liberalism and traditional values, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach to citizenship in the face of growing nationalistic sentiments.
