Europe becomes the unhinged "divorced dad/mum"
Europe did have potential to make a comeback, but mostly due to the USA and its selfish tendencies such as sucking up all the potential for themselves not to mention their future planning capability is nonexistent, there really is no way to go but down. The USA quite frankly is the worst thing to ever happen to Europe given it takes all of Europe’s flaws and literally makes it a by partisan policy to be applied to the rest of the world which like Europe will sooner or later end up blowing up in their collective faces if they fail to see and try to fix this issue but then again, neither Trump or Biden can reverse this trend which is bound to go from very bad to terminal in just one more election cycle if all those train derailments and the bridge falling down can testify
Problem with Europe is imho that Germany under Merkel kept centralizing power and gobbling up every bit of influence in Europe, from everywhere - France, Italy, Greece, the newer EU members, and it was all geared towards a strategic resource-industry alliance with Russia.
But then all that influence passed into the hands of an inept Scholz. Combine that with the cutoff of cheap resources from Russia, and that centralized power became very easy to manipulate for the Americans. All they have to do is keep control over Germany, and by extension the rest of the (mainland) Europe will follow. France is trying to play some sort of a game too, but again, it's hampered by an inept head of state.

I am wondering where they plan to source the massive amount of water needed to fuel semiconductor manufacturing.
I agree. I hope for the best for India.
I also find some of the anti-Indian sentiment here puzzling. Let us imagine that the USA didn't exist and China initiated armed reunification. Would India go to war against China because of Taiwan? It's hard to imagine that happening, even if the Indian military were as strong as the PLA today.
Now let us imagine that India didn't exist and China initiated armed reunification. Would the USA go to war against China because of Taiwan? Definitely.
On China's most important priority - India would permit reunification even today, but the USA would not.
I also believe that the USA will eventually turn against India, once India becomes the world's third-largest economy. Many Westerners already think India is dirty and harbour a quiet, strong dislike of the many increasing Indian white-collar workers in their countries. When that day happens, the Asian continent will truly be united and the world will have taken a great step towards equality and justice.

Is there anything they haven’t threaten China yet? So when do the Americans start demanding China to dismantle their cities and rebuild rural mud huts because they threaten western profit margins.
This is dumb. Social security and Medicare have claims on all future income to pay out future liabilities. It’s “unfunded” in the sense that money isn’t in a bank account in DC today but it’s reasonable to expect it will be there for decades in the future (since people will be working and earning money).
this is as silly as saying a corporate bond is an unfunded corporate liability while ignoring any income the capital project will itself generate
