Episode notes
Europe Misreads The Immediate Threat
- European leaders focus on China and Russia while underestimating a direct U.S. threat to allied territory.
- That misreading leaves Europe vulnerable to destabilizing actions from a unilateralist U.S. policy.

- Hasanabi argues Trump's actions are eroding the post-World War II rules-based order and disrupting allied prosperity.
