  • Can “The French” finally lead Europe’s re-armament?

  • Are “The French” doing victory laps?

  • Will “The Europeans” be able to do without “The Americans” when it comes to security?

  • Are “The French” “Arrogant”?

Don’t all answer so quickly…

I had the great pleasure of sitting with

from today for a fun discussion regarding the new paradigm of European security, the impact of Donald Trump’s Presidency on European independence, and the level of influence the French are exerting right now as Europe does some serious soul-searching.

With some great interactions from a great audience, both Dave and I would love to hear what you think, and if you’re lucky, we may even make this a regular thing.
