Ten Minutes On... Europe's Future

March 05, 2025 • Guy • Season 2 • Episode 25

This week Guy reflects on the fallout from the Americans' abandonment of Ukraine and European leaders' realisation they need to step up in terms of their own defence. Guy explores the difficulty of Europeans becoming fully independent of the US as well as whether this crisis can overcome internal differences and help consolidate Europe into a more concrete political entity.
