Analysts and policymakers routinely argue that Europe has the potential to pose two grand strategic threats to the United States over the long term.
Analysts and policymakers routinely argue that Europe has the potential to pose two grand strategic threats to the United States over the long term. First, the members of the European Union may create an integrated military to go alongside their integrated economy, thereby creating a peer competitor for the United States. Second, Europe’s former great powers may revert to their old ways and engage in security competition with one another, thereby forcing the United States to return to the continent in force. However, the process of integration has eliminated both dangers—the Europeans have no incentive to engage in military integration and their power is evenly matched. Thus, Europe has become irrelevant to U.S. grand strategy.
