For too long, Europe has sat back and relied on the US. Now antidemocratic presidents as Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are working together to crush the EU, while Europe’s right-wing populists are serving as their puppets and sabotage us from within. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 marked a turning point. Gone is an 80-year period in which Western Europe could rely on the United States as a loyal partner in economic and social matters.
