China is an adversary to Europe. You may not see it as the main one but it is one. Don’t have to always target the main adversary.
European security is dependent on American guarantees and as such it is in Europe’s interest to not deviate too far from America’s foreign policy goals. Especially when there is a major war going on in Europe caused by its main rival.
Even so Europe has targeted America’s most powerful corporations for regulation. This is a good thing. Maybe America will someday follow Europe’s example.
It may be now, but not because of China, but because of the disastrous policies of the EU commission that cannibalized its own industrial base.
> European security is dependent on American guarantees
It is now, because De Gaulle and Adenauer were under massive attack by the Atlanticists when they tried to establish a sovereign European security infrastructure. The CIA, the BND and the Spiegel actually were instrumental to that.
The crazy thing is that America would be far more powerful if it empowered its allies rather than cannibalizing them.
It doesn’t matter why Europe is dependent on American guarantees when we are discussing the state of the world as it is now. Perhaps the information you’ve provided would be helpful in developing a long term goal of non-dependence on the U.S. military.
