      Submission statement: If you think Europe can defend itself without the US, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte says, you should „keep on dreaming.“ But this mindset, argues political scientist Rajan Menon, is the product of decades of American strategy that has convinced wealthy, capable NATO allies that they are powerless without Washington. In fact, Europe possesses the resources and capabilities to defend itself. Menon shows how Europe’s chosen dependence could be overcome, and why the Trump era makes it both possible and necessary.

      War has a way of kicking even the sleeping museum curators that run the EU into gear and reduce military supply chain risk.

      This is pure copium. It will take a decade of **concerted** efforts by NATO to fill the void left by the US.

      Yes it does, and this has been what every single US president since the fall of the Soviet Union has said. Increase your military spending so if the US is drawn into a war with China, Europe can handle Russia. Russia, a nation so pathetic that even Hank Hill [makes fun of it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFhjNaHcmag).

      Instead Germany, after Russia annexed Crimea, built the Nord Stream Pipelines so if the Ukrainian pipelines were blocked they could still get their gas. Gas sales that have quite literally funded Putin’s war chest and the Ukraine war.

      I am happy to see that Europe is finally taking its own defense seriously (kind of) but the „we will think about it“ Europe really needs to show action, not promises. The US is half of NATO and all of its logistic ability. If the US is ground down in a Pacific war (that Europe has no real ability to assist with) they should be able to at least survive on their own. But as of right now, they can not.
