Europe's foreign policy establishment has reacted with instinctive dismissiveness to Macron’s European Sovereigntism. They fail to see how discredited their own ideology has become.

I found this on Reddit and I read the whole thing, I thought it was interesting.

The author argues in favour of greater European independence on defence (and less dependence on the US). The article is a year old but I think it’s still relevant.

The author is apparently a journalist with France 24, a French state-owned media company, so you could say that makes him biased in favour of the French position. But I think he still makes valid points.

    As a modestly educated American, I understand it would be tone deaf to tell you what you should do in this thread

    Why the fuck would that be the case. Comes off as patronising, infantilising, “oh your minds are so feeble and gullible I cannot possibly state my opinion without influencing you unduly”. Nah mate we’re perfectly capable of telling you to sod off when you’re spouting bollocks.
