The turbocharged events of the last week - and the new US National Security Strategy - raise pressing questions about the new world order, and what it means for Europe

Field Marshal Lord Richards, who… was the head of the UK’s armed forces from 2010 till 2013… issues a stark warning: “[Europe] risks falling between the cracks.”

“The EU cannot be a Great Power, nor can any of its constituent nations,” he argues. "[So] the UK/EU must decide under whose sphere of influence they should shelter?

“The answer is they are likely to remain in the USA’s - and within a reshaped Nato.”

Thoughts?

    True at the time and will remain true until the EU federalise. We really need to start seeing ourselves as Europeans first and country second.
