Submission statement: The latest actions of the Trump 2.0 administration have heightened fears about a dwindling US commitment to Europe. But US abandonment could manifest in different ways – as a bargaining chip or as a policy goal. To prepare for all possible scenarios, the EU and its Member States must invest in a strong European deterrent force.
Bit dramatic to put US abandonment of Europe on par with a nuclear strike on Europe, lol. Stopped reading after that.
Every single ally that America had is abandoning America. What will that look like.
> Second, the EU should support the development of collective capabilities at European level: these include strategic enablers – strategic airlift, air-to-air refuelling, operational intelligence and air defences – that are necessary to transform capabilities into active fighting power.
Treating this as if it was a no-brainer. Europe has historically never been able to develop that united fighting capacity without breaking up around strategic rifts, and this is already visible between Germany and France.
NATO and the American presence in Europe have been essential to remove the desire for an hegemonic power within Europe. Remove that presence and that rift will come back.
Without NATO, any high intensity conflict between a EU member and another power would lead in months to a rift within the EU. Ukraine shows that mechanism and it’s bound to go way worse.
