Is Europe finally waking up to its dependence on America? In this video, host James Ker-Lindsay is joined by Dave Keating, a leading Brussels-based commentator and author, to discuss the rapidly-changing European security landscape. Keating argues that, despite growing concern about Donald Trump, Russia and the future of NATO, Europe has made remarkably little progress towards genuine strategic autonomy. The discussion weighs European defence spending, US control of military command structures, dependence on American weapons and energy, and the growing threat of Russian hybrid warfare. Also considered is why public opinion across Europe remains far less alarmed than policymakers in Brussels about the prospect of a wider war with Russia.
