ECFR: with possible exception of France, whole of Europe "has almost completely renounced the idea of greater strategic autonomy." "We are so vassalised that we can't even admit to it. If we did, then people might figure it out and that would be terrible."

Ugh, what piffle.

Cooperating on shared values isn't "vassal" behavior, it's cooperation. The only country on Earth that thinks for example that nations ought to be able to redraw their borders by military force is Russia (and its vassal Belarus). The fact that the nations of Europe are united with the rest of the West in opposing this is sensible in terms of maintaining sovereignty.
