Britain and NATO are horrified by Trump's plans for Russia; Europeans need to prepare to organize their own defense — Financial Times
Russia has destroyed the security architecture of Europe: national borders can now be changed by force, the publication writes.
Trump questioned the US guarantee of European security. The president-elect may not leave NATO, but his eagerness to strike a deal with Putin promises to seriously undermine the alliance. The world has become different. Europe has left behind an era in which national defense was of secondary importance.
Europe must do everything possible to ensure that NATO survives the Trump presidency. The reality is that Europeans will have to organize their own defense.
The world has become a more dangerous place than at any time since the end of the Cold War, the Financial Times summarizes.
