If we are going to survive the cold war redux, we’ll need Europe on board to some extent. When the dark cloud of soviet communism lingered over their daily lives, Europeans were much more...friendly towards America. What’s more, it was much easier to export our special wares in that climate.
Forget Western Europe. They are already asking for the removal of our B-61 bombs. You will get more traction with Eastern Europe. They do not communism and the Russian influence that comes along with it.
