Headlines say that the EU and NATO are enhancing cooperation—but a different undercurrent threatens to make U.S. global influence obsolete.


The European Union is moving in to undermine nato, the European Journal reports. Calls for enhanced cooperation between nato and the increasingly federalistic EU is the headline, but under the surface the trends are moving toward reducing nato power and blunting American influence.

The Journal’s Glen Ruffle wrote, “[b]On the nato side, reform is also in the air. Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Schefer said, in a July 7 speech in Paris, that nato-EU relations could only get closer. He expressed concern that Europe is still the weaker partner in the Atlantic alliance, with low defense spending, and reiterated the need, supported by President George Bush, for more Europe, not more North America, in the allianceâ€

Could you be more specific on where the dangers would be? I know a Eurabia or globalist-dominated NATO would be a problem. OTOH, I'm weary of the US always being one to step in to resolve conflicts. (not the only one; Britain and France have done quite a lot, also)
