There is nothing that matches the zeal of a convert… and so it seems with those now calling for (converted to?) European strategic autonomy.

Never fear, it’s just as foretold by the prophecy… 😉

This week, at an event, we debated whether Europe was a “player”, “playground” or “plaything”… but a new category emerges: we might not even been on the pitch. “Sidelined” is a word I’m hearing a lot and it’s not just about “the Plan”…

Just keep in mind that European leaders have had three years now… the war has been going on long enough for Europe to get its act together, but we have not done so.

We in Europe can blame Trump all we want… some self-reflection is in order. We have wasted so much time.

How will history judge us?

We are possibly at a “Poos Moment”, again. Do you remember his line: “This is the Hour of Europe”? How will history write about Europe’s leaders in future…
