European Strategic Autonomy: Why can Poland succeed where France failed?

In a previous article, we discussed the new status of Poland on the European scene, whether within NATO or the European Union, through the ambitions displayed by its Minister of Defense Mariusz Błaszczak concerning the next summit of NATO in Vilnius next July. Paradoxically, after having long led people to believe that Polish policy aimed above all to obtain the backing and protection of the United States, recent developments in the strategy pursued by Warsaw show a real ambition to induce Europeans to fully assume their defence, while at least from a conventional point of view, especially in the face of…

What are the 3 major dangers linked to European American-centrism in terms of Defense?

For many years, long before President Macron's arrival at the Elysée Palace, the French position on defense had always been more independent than that of its neighbors vis-à-vis American protection. In 2017, when tensions between Berlin and Washington were at their peak, Emmanuel Macron and Engels Merkel launched several industrial and political initiatives to give substance to a very ambitious and quite old project, Defense Europe.
