Thierry de Montbrial: The Ukrainian war is already having global consequences. He says it threatens to result in a profound crisis for the European Union.
The posture of the Europeans presents itself as a crusade for democracy in the shadow of U.S. protection, he says. The concept of the West is inseparable from the Pax Americana which has been its foundation since the start of the Cold War, de MontBrial writes. The weariness which is beginning to manifest in the United States for unlimited support of the objectives displayed by President Zelensky is a predictable political fact.
