Europe and the United States have refused Ukraine's accession to NATO. This is a severe blow to Europe, and its impact on the continent will be profound.
Politics is an art of compromise, but at critical moments one must take a clear and unambiguous stand. Europe should no longer place its hopes on a change of heart from Trump or on greater concern for Europe from the next U.S. leader.
Europe must unite, draw a clear line separating itself from the United States, and de-Americanize its military. This will be painful, but it is necessary.
