In this segment, economist Jeffrey Sachs argues that the European Union’s biggest strategic mistake has been conflating its role with that of NATO. He contends that Europe’s close institutional and geopolitical alignment with the alliance has weakened its strategic autonomy and ability to act independently on the world stage. Sachs goes further, saying he would dissolve NATO to encourage clearer strategic thinking and a more independent European foreign policy. He also warns against pursuing what he describes as Russia’s “humiliating defeat”, arguing that such a strategy is dangerous in the nuclear age. Instead, he calls for diplomacy to end the conflict, challenging Europe’s emphasis on rearmament and military confrontation.
If there was no nato and Europe wasn’t vassalised AND it was united then it would be fighting proxy wars and power struggles with the US the same way Russia does because it would be pursuing its own interests, the US would be a competitor and adversary.
I don’t think Europe is capable of being all of those things simultaneously though. I think a militarised Europe will succumb to nationalism, splinter and then that will lead back to the border conflicts that used to plague it.
If this is Europe has done to the global South as a minor power, I pray they remain in NATO indefinitely.
yeah wtf, i like nato now
Europe exists in the mind
literally. its boundaries are undefined and change depending on the necessary amount of racism the moment requires. it’s not even a continent, it just got grandfathered in.
but europe has freedom to act, they clearly get the benefits of usa conquests, and north africa is basically their training grounds for type of politics europe likes
