President Donald Trump shakes hands with Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel during a bilateral meeting at the sidelines of the NATO summit in Watford, Britain, December 4, 2019.It's time to take urgent measures to head off the danger of "transatlantic decoupling," a strategic shift that would risk more than seven decades of gains in democracy, open markets and individual rights.
The damage would be far-reaching for America's worldwide interests, for European unity and influence, and for the most significant community of democracies and open market economies the world has ever known, accounting for nearly half of global GDP. . Its aim would be to ensure that, while the alliance remains militarily strong, it would become stronger politically and globally ensure its relevance in the face of a more assertive China and a global pandemic.
What's increasingly clear is that China considers Europe a crucial factor in its effort to gain global influence. Far less clear is where Europe will land as the new geopolitical pieces fall into place – and what kind of Europe it will be.In the best of all worlds, the United States would "re-couple" with Europe, and Europe would unify and align with Washington.
There are countless other iterations, with as great or greater a potential to define the global future as jockeying in Asia.Clearly, much depends on the preferences of a re-elected Trump administration or the priorities and vision of a Biden alternative.1. Embrace and put meaning into NATO 2030's nascent efforts to provide the alliance a stronger political and global dimension.

Without US, Russia will take over Europe. After that, there will not be any democracy.

Well we had a good run. RIP NATO

Its about to be boycott frenzy against companies supporting domestic terrorist like blm and antifa who have the blood of innocent lives. The backlash of national price that's coming hasn't been seen since ww2!
Listen you bozo, It was not the US who initiated and continue to undermine NATO from within. It was Merkel's and Schroeder's Germany! But you don't know crap about foreign policy or national security to notice any of it. Singing Kumbaya doesn't make an alliance, action does!
You guys are on fire today
Germans despise Americans. I grew up there. They admire it but the jealousy makes them bitter. They laugh that Americans are so stupid and pick up the NATO tab and do the dirty work. Just read SPIEGEL. They laughed that our system crashed after Covid.
БОГ Возвышенный, Добрый. ЕГО Свет исцеляет души и тела. А тьма вводит в путь безумия и страдании. БОГ посылает Свет с Пророками, и ложь исчезает. Многим злым людям мешают Свет, и несущие Истину народам Пророки. Москва открыла новый Храм, чтобы Богохульствовать и в военном Храме.
