Talking loosely, but don't tell that to the Vikings, the Anglo-Saxons or the Celts. People think that just because Rome was crumbling/evolving that Europe was somehow on its knees.
I'd argue Europe has never looked weaker than it does currently. The EU has bound itself in all kinds of red tape and despite a bunch of laws about migration from outside the EU people can just walk on in.
Meantime people of Germany/France/UK/etc who married an American/Canadian/etc are told that they're not allowed to bring them here without a ton of legal paperwork...just jump on a truck, seems to work
