Part 9/10:
Concluding Thoughts
The European relationship with the U.S., especially under Trump's administration, highlights the complexities of modern diplomacy where personal dynamics often overshadow strategic interests. While flattery may appear to offer short-term gains, the long-term goal should be to foster an independent European defense identity.
In embracing a vision for a united European military force, European nations can work towards reducing their dependence on American security guarantees. This shift would not only enhance European autonomy but also contribute significantly to the shared interests of the continent and its people.
