As the U.S. turns its back on security commitments, Germany faces a profound shift in its post-war defense policy. Can it still rely on France and the UK?
Germany is at a crossroads when it comes to its security policy — one of the deepest upheavals of the post-War era.
It’s impossible because the EU is only slightly more cohesive than Europe was before WWI…
EU only exists because member countries saw the need for an economic power to contend with the US post-WWII. It’s not like States in the US - each country is there only so long as they feel their interests are being met.
The mere thought of Brexit occuring should’ve been a warning shot - everyone took to castigating Britain instead of examining why it could even be an idea, let alone actually happening.
Brexit happened because the EU is not only limited to trading.
Also… “Only slightly more cohesive” ? France and Germany were having skirmishes and ready to start a war years before WWI actually started. Germany didn’t shoot a Rafale yet, I think we’re doing OK

Your entire comment is wrong.

I’m pretty sure the US was very involved in the process of establishing more union and collaboration in Europe.
You wrote “only exists because”. Did you man “only still exists because”? But then the post WW2 comment doesn’t make much sense.
The US also did a lot of economic support. So which time frame are you referring to?
The beginning of the EU started to keep France from trying to invade the Saarland again.
I knew the EU was a mistake. /s
