Today, Wolff points out, “the European Union and its member states now face not only the threat of Russia, but also that of a predatory United States, although the latter is still constrained by internal checks and balances.” But “Europe should not think that appeasement will change the opinion of the president of the United States. Historical experience suggests that it is important to say ‘no‘”, concludes the community policy expert.
