To convince people you will improve things, it usually helps to demonstrate that you have identified the problems, the solutions, have the financing available, and that other stakeholders are supportive.

Western Pols are polished in the promising and little else, and have a tenuous demonstrated grasp of reality, as your coverage of Macron shows.
Macron's speech and the idea of Project 2030 (predicting war with Russia after the current decade) appears to illustrate that the "believers" see no current danger from Russia, no matter whether and to the extent they (and NATO) cross Russian Red Lines.
It must be comforting to go to bed each night without any worry that WW3 is right around the corner.
Is it ignorance, or denial, that is the ultimate bliss?
BTW, I think you (accidentally) repeated part of the text more than once (or my computer is on the fritz)..
yes I just found that out. I thought maybe it was something I did, but I checked my original and it did not have repeats. Anyway I think I cleaned it up. If you find more, please let me know. Thank you!
"Without the US, NATO would probably disband and the European 'experiment' (if one can call it that, even though it is mostly wishful thinking) will end."
You said it three times... but NATO disbanding three times over sounds good.
And given that it's essentially the enforcement arm of American capitalism, it doesn't make much sense outside American economic and political leadership.
As for the 'European experiment', we mainly think of that as an attempt to move on from several centuries of intracontinental wars (when there wasn't much competition from outside) toward peaceful coexistence.
That doesn't make much sense to the Western MIC who need war to thrive, but many European citizens, if not the 'defense' sector of their shared economy would I think be happy enough without America's Forever Wars.

Substack has a flaw, it happens to me in comment sections, paragraphs are repeated.

We're sort of done with colonialism.
I just saw repeats.
Ever see "Don't Look Up!"?
No, never heard of the film and never saw a film with either of the 2 lead actors.
I do not live near a movie theater and a Google search suggests that revealed what it is about suggests I would watched the film on-line.
We prefer entertainment that is amusing.
You may find it to be instructive.
Sorry... search revealed I would not want to watch it on-line, even for free.
