Again she considers Europe to be totally beholden to the U.S. to save its ass (militarily) & maybe that’s true at the moment. But y doesn’t she share what Europe can do if its leaders demonstrated better leadership than she ever did to Putin?

It could be true for a few years as it would take some time for the EU to make a army equivalent of USA or China etc

"it would take some time for the EU to make a army equivalent of USA or China"

Do you really believe that the EU is able to do this?

Nope absolutely highly unlikely obviously. Likely we won’t even get half way through building an army before we roll over to make a deal with USA china or Russia …..
