Can Europe go it alone? Future of NATO in doubt as Trump turns on Ukraine

The image of King Charles welcoming Volodymyr Zelensky to Sandringham evokes memories of his grandfather, George VI, standing while Great Britain held the line before the United States entered the war. Since then, Europe has relied on the Washington safety umbrella. But this era perhaps ends. Last Friday, the president of Ukraine was caught up in live television, faced with a rhetoric surprisingly similar to the discussion points of the Kremlin, criticizing the war in kyiv and NATO. What was to be a solemn reflection on the visit of Keir Starmer in Washington, rather turned into an urgent strategy session in London. If the future of NATO is in doubt, is Europe really ready to defend itself? And with Trump seeming to line up with Putin, is the continent now closer than ever to direct confrontation with Russia?
