Europe brought it upon themselves....

In this video, we dive into the complex geopolitical landscape currently facing Europe. I explore how European leaders have restricted their own strategic maneuverability by distancing themselves from Russia, while simultaneously facing new friction with the United States under the Trump administration and a largely self-interested China. We also discuss internal economic struggles in China, the reality of the European-American alliance during global conflicts, and the potential withdrawal of US troops from Germany. Is the era of NATO as we know it coming to an end?
