Look to Japan last 19 years 1990-2009. The country stagnated and it is only keep economic activity via artificial GDP growth.

I extrapolate that to Western Europe. Then you would point that Europe grew, did not stagnate in the same period.

That (still keeping Japanese extrapolation in mind) was only achieved via buying consuming markets of Eastern Europe. Without the buying out out Eastern Europe, Western Europe would have gone Japan way.

Western Europe market buy up is now complete. There is no more country to be found as markets for European goods and services. Europe stagnates.

Let's now turn to the US. It only kept going -after Nixon went out of Gold standard- via fleecing of other countries, creating artifical crisis to result on a flight to quality whereby it imported capital to keep its economy going.

This ended after Asian Meltdown. Countries wised up. Increased foreign reserves to avoid being fleeced.
US reacted by via artificial wealth creation. Bubble after bubble. First tech bubble. Followed by housing bubble.

Bubbling scheme is now exhausted. US stagnates too.

As the stagantion is now completed, the industries start going bankrupt. One after the other. Unemployment increases. Consumers confidence goes down.

Thsi reaches a point when it downs on electorates that there is no way the stimulus will result on a rebound. They will finally adapt to a new level of consumption.

Consumption of energy plummets dramatically.

The consumption appears elesewhere. Why, you'd be asking by now. Because of decoupling. The rest of the world takes the slack. The oild is just going to be burned by another people.
