Looking at my username it should be clear that I am not a fan of US imperialism. But, I do think Europe really has to consider how it deals with the security dilemma before it leaves the US security umbrella. At the moment we are still a bunch of nation states with individual armies, individual politics, and following that: individual interests. And especially with nationalism on the rise in almost all of Europe I would rather have a solid answer to the question if European peace was due to „learning from the past“ and the EU, then find out the hard way that it was because of the US safeguarding each country’s sovereignty (and thus breaking the security dilemmas cycle of mistrust).
Ironically the sign indicates that ONLY busses are welcome in that street. A BBBB+ street (+ stands for bus)
