Many European leaders believe they can no longer rely on the U.S. for the high level of defensive support they have counted on for decades now that President Donald Trump, a longtime critic of NATO and the European Union, has returned to office.
In this edited conversation, Richard D. Hooker Jr., a senior associate at the Belfer Center’s Project on Europe and the Transatlantic Relationship at Harvard Kennedy School, discusses what Europe has to do to get ready for that new reality.
This bears what I’ve thought for a while now. Europe needs a dedicated military, All working together using standardised ammunition etc. As for railways, that should have been done years ago. Hopefully we can get this done before Putin makes his move - and he will do. Especially now that the US president is a Russian asset.
