President Biden has followed the lead of President Trump in waking up Europe to the realities of their own responsibilities to their people to adequately defend themselves and stand united on major issues confronting Europe, e.g., climate change. In particular, Germany has recognized its invaluable role to play in this endeavor by posing as a model for the rest, including England, to withstand the threats of war and the ravages of the planet. It truly has been a re-awakening call to arms for preparedness to fight both nature and man.
Ms. Merkel did a marvelous job pointing to the illusions, perpetrated by the Russians, of Russia's concern in the affairs of Europe, when all they want from the EU is compliance with their aggressive posture through the Kremlin to dominate the world's politics. The US, in carrying forth its role in the project "Awaken Europe," has been urging an increase in each country's military budget. Chancellor Scholz has risen to the occasion by doubling Germany's military budget and strengthening its commitment to NATO.
Personally, I aver for something like NATO in the Pacific; and maybe there'll be something that coalesces into an organizational structure. The US can't do what will need to bolster the Pacific defenses from simply its island bases.
My opinion.
