Absolutely. It’s a black hole that’s just opened up and a lot don’t yet want to see it. But - a lot more will see it and recognize that it’s suicidal to fall into that black hole.
Tough call for us Europeans. We are on our own and, yes, urgently need a European army and defense industry, but both long-term projects. The "now" question is how far to go publicly in splitting with Trump over Ukraine. Privately they need to be planning an independent European future with the UK.
At this point, splitting with Trump already happened. The only question is how far to take the farce that the Americans are still allies to try and buy time before Trump goes on a hissy fit. But it should have been clear since Trump was elected that Europe needs to rearm, FAST.
I agree with that, but we cannot rearm within the time frame on offer. "FAST" is at least 5 years - more likely 10 while we stop dithering. Meanwhile we may have to flatter Orange Man's ego in public while acting with unaccustomed urgency privately. The total folly of Brexit is daily more apparent!
Macron was already warning Europe 5 years ago. Hopefully the delusional doubters who refuse to believe that the US security guarantee is gone will be persuaded.
