ECFR: with possible exception of France, whole of Europe “has almost completely renounced the idea of greater strategic autonomy.” “We are so vassalised that we can’t even admit to it. If we did, then people might figure it out and that would be terrible.”

      How would the EU gain more autonomy? Increased military spending? Just walk away from old alliances and hope that makes you stronger?

      EU seems to have more control over American tech companies than the US govt has.
