Just sent out this free piece. For two weeks now we have heard senior European policy makers speak lies. Europe cannot defend itself without the USA, the USA under Trump it committed to NATO, Europe is too weak. It is a generation of failure justifying its mistakes. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Of course Europe can defend itself, indeed it should.

Europe's centre-right leadership has been determined to cherry-pick the recommendations they acknowledge from Draghi's competitiveness report.
They love the deregulation bit. But they've ignored the strengthening Europe bit.
But now Draghi is making his call for federalism harder to ignore.
