In this conversation, Ralph Schoellhammer discusses the perceived escalation dominance of Europe over the United States, arguing that this belief is largely an illusion. He highlights the significant military, digital, financial, and energy dependencies that Europe has on the US, emphasizing that while Europe may hold some leverage, it is constrained and cannot easily achieve strategic autonomy. The discussion covers various domains, including military technology, digital infrastructure, financial markets, and energy supplies, ultimately concluding that European independence is a complex and long-term challenge.
