In my opinion - Europe needs a complete overhaul of leadership, especially those in the European Union and its Parliament. At a time when the countries are increasingly moving towards nation-first, Europe lacks ambition, and courage to speak with EU first mindset. NATO needs to be abandoned. it has mostly served US strategic interests while making EU complacent about its own security. They spend money, close to $500bn annually in NATO and despite this, they are weakened. Investing such amount in Europe-centric security would have made them major powerhouse. They see Russia as enemy (historically) and this is the only justification for being in NATO, under US security umbrella. The leaders like Ursula Von Der Leyen in EU, and Mark Ruth in NATO are weak and turning into liabilities. Despite this, Europe was getting cheap energy from Russia. US enters the scene and blows the Nord stream in Ukraine war, and they simply watch, and then buy more gas and energy from the US. Now in West Asia war - Europe is completely absent despite its energy security threatened again. And here, Ursula says - "the question is how can we reduce the demand... because the least expensive energy is the energy that is not used.... we are looking at energy efficiency...." The problem is EU's mindset - you threatened our energy, we will reduce the demand. Reducing the energy demand is the biggest indicator hold the horses of growth.

🇪🇺Ursula von der Leyen regarding the energy crises in Europe: “The cheapest energy is the one you don't use. Stay home, don't drive, don't use electricity.”
