“Europe’s supposed commitment to seeing Russia held to account for its actions in Ukraine seems to be trumped by its undeniable energy needs.” An overfocus on symptoms and quick fixes obscures “the path toward energy security.” Absent “coordinated foreign policy—not fragmented individual national responses…. EU member states will find themselves constantly threading the needle between upholding their values and meeting the basic needs of their citizens, a precarious exercise that will hurt the European project itself.”

But the brutal reality is this: Get ready for another national nightmare now that Joe Biden is the president-elect.” We are likely to be “in for a parade of horrors during Trump’s remaining time in power. Change is coming, but along the way, fasten seatbelts for severe turbulence.”
