Скачать или смотреть Trump Meets Zelensky — Europe's Defense Independence Dilemma Deepens | John Mearsheimer

As Trump and Zelensky prepare to meet in Florida, a seismic shift is unfolding across Europe. NATO Chief Mark Rutte has rejected calls for European military independence from the US, but the debate reveals deep ideological fractures between Washington and Brussels. European leaders like Manfred Weber are questioning whether Europe can still rely on Trump's America for security, advocating for European forces operating under European flags. This isn't about political uncertainty—it's about political divergence. The MAGA movement and EU establishment are no longer aligned, creating an unprecedented dilemma for European defense strategy. Meanwhile, Zelensky leverages this tension, placing pressure directly on Trump for security guarantees while Ukraine's Foreign Minister declares 2025 "Europe's year of awakening." This analysis unpacks the hidden power dynamics reshaping transatlantic relations and Europe's quest for strategic autonomy in the post-Trump world.
