LOL.. What a delusion post. Technology advancement , wealth creation and power dominant has no boundary. These are the things Western able to dominate becos of leading all these. Space is an area where new technology and new scientific discovery are crucial for leading the future for material science, medical and propulsion system. European definitely do not want to be left behind. You think ISS or Chinese space station are simply prestige stuff? There are big reason why ESA and Japan continue to pour in funds to support ISS survival.
With worsen of ties between Russia and Western. ISS is surely doomed unless western can take back their pride and stop sanction against Russia. There is no way for ESA and US to work in ISS. Remember, core module is control and owned by Russia. Russia will definitely de orbit and see it rot rather than let it continue with American or Western Europe.
Chinese space station is the only option. SpaceX proposal will materialize fastest by at least 5 years time. ESA do not want the time gap to disrupt their scientific research in space and get left behind by CSA. They will definitely join China space station. You can continue to post garbage and deceive yourself. China space station is the only option for ESA. China is a leading power.
And hell with your fake western values. You invade and kill arabsm marginalize Muslims and them start bragging about your humanity. Never seen such shameless people like you who are devil but claim you have great value and moral. You are self deceiving only.
