WCM on Europe is wasting its Obama moment
Yes. I think Europe has choices. Not playing into US hegemony is a choice. Not playing into anyone’s hegemony is a choice. Not being a hegemon is a choice. As Greencourt well notes, the formula for Europe was ”about economic and civil equality between states”; it was not a subordinated apology for WWII, and it was not intended to be subordinate to the US
