L’alleato che l’Europa temeva di perdere è ora quello che teme

Like I’ve said elsewhere, the real elephant in the room for Europe and by extension the entire free world is not the idea that America is no longer a reliable ally.

It’s the growing likelihood that America is now a threat to the free world; an imperialist power that behaves just like Russia and China. This is such a terrifying prospect that no international politician even wants to discuss it in public. I do hope they have had discussions in private instead of waiting for the tariff / sanction / military hammer to fall on them.

Hopefully, the EU will take that as a lesson and learn that the US has always been and will always be unreliable.

I would like to see a European army now.

Very good article. Painfully to read yet so true. Europe is weak and hence has to swallow the humiliation which is around the corner. Not concession, not political maneuvering. Geostrategic humiliation and a realisation that they are nothing more than a plaything for the people with guns and the willingness to use them. 

Yet the UK just did this.

“The UK will be at the leading edge of defence innovation as the government signs a new partnership with Palantir to unlock billions in investment and deliver on the Government’s Plan for Change”.

Embarrassing.

No one fears the US in Europe, they will not attack the EU. They fear the lack of accountability and the lack of predictably of one man’s actions and the effect these have on the economy and global stability. The US stands to loose a lot, if they mess with Nato / Europe. Both sides would be hit hard. 

Were talking billions in arms sales, the loss of strategically significant army bases in Europe, which are heavily funded by Europe, the loss of vital allies and so much more. 

This is a far more complex than people make out. Europe is not the damsel in distress tha the the US would like you to think. 

It’s not just the extra money that all European nations (excluding Russia of course) will have to pay on their defence, but also the change in mindset that wars were something that only happened in far-off lands that could be avoided through politics and the adoption of neutrality and non-aggression.

Germany needs to stop having ww2 shame and arm up. Rest of EU will follow.

OK I’m officially tired of these posts.

Yes, we KNOW the US is not a reliable ally (or even an ally) anymore. We KNOW.

Do we *really* need fifty posts/day of various levels of fearmongering and doomerism, about this, with pointless conversations going in circles? It’s starting to affect my mental health at this point.

Actually, I do not think the United States is an unreliable ally, nor do I believe that Europe should be afraid of being abandoned.

Rather, I think the American political elite has realized that the war in Ukraine has been contributing to a gradual strengthening of Europe, and therefore to a slow increase in its strategic autonomy. Not in a dramatic or sudden way, but step by step.

This is likely what concerns US leaders the most: the emergence of a stronger and more independent Europe. One that develops its own defense industry, its own technological ecosystems, and its own strategic priorities. Such a shift would significantly alter the current balance.

In that scenario, the United States would not lose its influence through conflict, but through rebalancing. A Europe that no longer depends as heavily on American weapons, technology, and strategic leadership would inevitably reduce US global leverage, potentially accelerating a relative shift of power toward China.

This is why USA tries currently to afraid us.

NATO needs to be disolved or expunge the US. Pick whatever one that leads to a European defense force. Europe also needs to step away from American made defense material.

The US cannot be trusted at this point and it will take decades to regain that trust.

Article is already out of date as GB France Dental and Her will provide trips to Greenland.

I doubt the US could take Greenland and go into conflict with Europe without growing resistance from within.
We should always look at the current US in the context of a very polarized political spectrum, and that is an advantage which can be exploited.
Let the US take Greenland if they really insist, dont spilll too much blood over a territory with a small population, we are no match for them in a direct confrontation, and even if we were, it would be a bad idea, it would only amuse the rest of the world and inspire other enemies to take action.
Play the long game and support the American opposition, Trump could lead the US into civil war and then Denmark can just take Greenland back.
Americans are not Russians, they will not just let their state be dismantled into a pseudo-democracy.

America finally stood up for itselfs

Go into Ukraine, bring them into Europe. Use their experience to prepare for potential another aggression.

Europe needs to finally pull its head out and learn to walk on its own. But even with every possible alarm signal telling them to get it together and ramp up your defense massively— they can’t and they won’t. Still so completely naive and delusional. Sad really, how naked and alone they stand there. But they’ll only have themselves to blame when it’s too late.

I remember when I posted a few weeks ago where I wrote that the US is not only no ally anymore, but an enemy, I was accused of „watching to many movies“ by 3 Americans in this sub…
