"In a planet of brutal geopolitics, Europe must learn to think back-up. The U.S. withdraws from the function of global leader and challenges allied commitments. Trump abandons collective safety and pursues a planet of influence zones. NATO is becoming uncertain and Europe remains militarily dependent on the US. We so request an additional defence alliance – "NATO backup" – involving EU countries, the UK, Canada, Norway, Turkey and Ukraine. Not competitive against NATO, but supporting it in the event of its inaction. Only then can Europe regain strategical autonomy and prepare for an unpredictable future."
