It is Europeans make themselves poor.

Europe is as rich with resources as Russia or Canada. Actually they don't need to buy anything abroad, they could mine everything they need just from under their feet.

Fuel: Enormous reserves of coal under Poland, Germany Britain and France. Oil is under the european shelf, under Scandinavia Britain, Ireland, Iceland and Nothern Spain. Natural gas under the Midterranian sea beach. Uranium could be mined right near Paris without much problems. It's not even very deep there. There is enough uranium near Paris to fuel all European nuclear plants for centuries.

Metal ore: Everywhere. European soil is reach with iron. Copper is in Italy, Greece and Cyprus. (Cyprus mean Copper in ancient Greek).

So called "rare-earths": Midterranian beach is full of rare-earths. Scandinavia too. Fuck, nearly half of all rare-earths named after European locations:

• Europium: Obviusly named after Europe itself
• Terbium: Named after the Swedish town of Ytterby
• Holmium: Latin 'holmia' for the old name of Stockholm.
• Erbium: Named after the Swedish town of Ytterby (again)
• Thulium: Named after the old name of Scandinavia, 'Thule'
• Ytterbum: Named after the Swedish town of Ytterby (once again)
• Lutetium: Named after the Roman name 'Lutetia' for Paris.
• Yttrium: Named after the small town of Ytterby (are they kidding me?)
• Scandium: Named because it was found in Scandinavia.

And so on.

Europeans become too lazy and arrogant to even think about mining absolutely everything they need for their industry and wealth by themselves. They think somebody should provide them all that stuff for their colored paper and they will teach everybody around about how to live and what to think.

So fuck them. They live on the reach reserves and don't bother to dig them out.

It is like to live near a lake full of fish surrounded by the forest full of game and all kind of berries and mashrooms, along with endless wood for building and fire, and constantly whine about severe starvation, cold, homelessnes being too lazy to make a fishing rod, bow and axe - they are their own enemies and fully deserve everything what will happen with them.

If Europeans prefer to have a ski resort in Alps instead of rare-earth mine, overpriced Paris suburbs instead of Uranium factory or luxury realty in Nice instead of Lithium quarry - then let them source all what their industry need from sole existence of this luxury properties. Fuck this arrogant beggars.
