  • Thought provoking piece if a little misguided Monbiot is usually about geopolitics.

    I think that the main reason Europe is ramping up it’s defence spending and reducing welfare is because Trump has threatened to pull out of Nato, leaving Europe without any military defence. Whatever you think about the military, its clear this would make liberal leaders uneasy. The republicans have long considered Europe to be spongers off the USA. This increase in spending is probably due to some wrangling going on behind the scenes.

    It shows how little power Europe has against the USA. If any country really deviated from USA’s agenda they would be really risking USA denying them nato support or other Usain infrastructure.
