Europe finally ready to fly solo? 🇪🇺🛡️
Finland’s President Alexander Stubb just voiced the thought that’s been lingering in the halls of Brussels for years: Europe can defend itself without the U.S.
This isn't a "breakup" with Washington—it’s a wake-up call for European self-reliance. Here’s the reality:
The Power is There: With a massive combined economy and advanced military tech, Europe has the "bones" of a superpower.
The Catalyst: The war in Ukraine ended the era of "outsourced security."
The Goal: Strategic autonomy. It’s about being a partner to the U.S. by choice, not out of total desperation.
The Bottom Line: Don’t just listen to the rhetoric. Watch the defense budgets. If Europe actually spends what it promises, the global power balance changes forever.
