The worst-case scenario is now a possible one: European troops fighting off an invasion largely alone
It’s by no means clear the Europeans would succeed. Romanian and other European officials at the exercise in Cincu, about 260 kilometers (162 miles) north of Bucharest by road, voiced concerns about how long it would take for NATO allies to make it to the front.
French four-star General Philippe de Montenon said he’s confident Europe could prevail, even without the US on side.
“The direction of history is a progressive disengagement of the United States from the European continent,” he said.
Well, if Ukraine can manage the feat largely alone (minus weapons aid) then I’m sure Europe in general can manage it. Poland is probably just waiting for them to try it
