Italian term or phrase: che non puo' non vederci consapevoli

This is a particularly difficult sentence for me. It runs:

e' una difficulta' che non puo' non vederci consapevoli di quanto l'Europa abbia perso molte occasione.

My guess is: [one where] it is impossible not to be completely aware of .......

that makes clear, whether we like it or not,

Explanation:
i.e. we cannot help but realise.
I don't think there's any reason to replicate the double negative contortions of the original, especially in a spoken text.

Example sentence(s):

It is a problem that makes clear, whether we like it or not, just how many opportunities Europe has lost.
