Europe unable to defend itself independently for at least another decade, Bloomberg
Story by Daria Shekina  •

Europe may need up to three years to determine whether it can defend itself without US assistance, according to Bloomberg.

According to the material, European high-ranking officials know they should not rely on the U.S. for Europe's defense, but increasing their own military potential requires determination, which they still need to demonstrate.
 
People familiar with the preparation process state it will take at least ten more years before Europe can defend itself without external assistance.

Statements by former U.S. President Donald Trump have intensified pressure after the presidential candidate declared he would support Russia's attack on NATO allies who fail to meet their spending commitments.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Since when has it EVER BEEN ABLE to defend itself without American help?
The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
