Navigating EU Challenges: Education, Strategy, and Long-Term Issues

Higher education does not inherently create a smarter populace but serves as a means to identify and employ those already equipped with intelligence. In the EU, the necessity for more jobs extends beyond the educational framework, often leading to the creation of artificial academic roles due to insufficient private sector demand.

For instance, despite perceptions of Russia as a danger, its potential for conquest is significantly limited by its own domestic issues, making direct existential threats to Europe unlikely.
