Draghi warns Europeans face self-destruction without drastic changes. EU acts as mere spectator in world politics. Europe meekly accepts US tariffs unlike defiant China. China treats EU with contempt despite equal-sized economies. National interests sabotage EU's unified bargaining power. Europe buys American weapons deepening military dependence. Draghi's past euro rescue proves his expertise. EU succeeded in energy crises and Ukraine aid but rests on laurels. Draghi demands shift to good debts for infrastructure and tech. Removing trade barriers could triple EU productivity growth. EU leaders ignore Draghi's competitiveness report. Crises from Trump or Putin may force awakening. Europe fails in innovation against US AI push. EU buries past threats like Russian gas empire. Political gridlock paralyzes France Germany and Poland. Draghi's speech earns acclaim but zero action.
