“Every time Trump or members of his administration have lashed out at Europe, including Ukraine, Europeans have absorbed the blow with a forced smile and bent over backwards to flatter the White House.” (…)
“While a systemic answer to Europe’s security conundrum is not in sight, Europeans do have the levers to prevent Ukraine’s capitulation and create the conditions for a just peace.”
In the article, it is highlighted the situation with Ukraine.
It is not clear if there are other countries other than the EU that can influence the situation(aside the US and Russia).
However, it is also time the EU becomes a bit egoistic not because it is necessary, but it will help in the future to determine what countries are willing to cooperate in the same manner.
I’ll be the first to admit I am very ignorant about the geopolitics of this war, but how can this possibly be true? India could stop trade relations with Russia; China could invade Russia; the global south could conscript and send armies to support Ukraine. I’m not saying these countries would or even should do these things, but isn’t an analysis self-defeating if we just assume only EU & US have any influence?
