Europe has the strength to counter a weakened Russia - if it can unite and act decisively. The greater obstacle is America’s self-perceived decline, as it undermines alliances and ignores authoritarian threats, eroding its global leadership role.After a bevy of high-level consultations in Washington, from the windowless corridors of the Pentagon to the downtown thinktanks, I see a Europe that remains dangerously somnambulant in nature. We are operating on 20th-century software in a 21st-century hardware reality.
