„Smashing the old order does not, in itself, create anything at all. The Visigoths and the Vandals built nothing on top of the ruins of Rome.

We're seeing a lot of very rapid geopolitical and geo-economic thinking going on right now in Europe about what the end of the US alliance means for its security, economy & diplomacy. I haven't seen any parallel thinking among the US Atlanticist community about what it means for the US. (Brief) 🧵
