Can Europe Handle Russia Without America’s Help? (ft. Veronica Anghel) | Ep. 62
Europe’s security has depended on the United States for decades. But with Washington distracted and Russia pushing harder, can the EU actually defend itself?
Veronica Anghel—coauthor of Europe’s Delayed Reckoning With Russia in Foreign Affairs—joins Elevated Thoughts to explain Europe’s struggle for independence, how Trump and Putin have reshaped transatlantic politics, and what a world without U.S. protection might look like.
We break down NATO’s fractures, European defense gaps, and whether the EU’s leaders are ready to act—or just hoping America keeps showing up.
