Most European leaders know [โ€ฆ] it will take time.

We [โ€ฆ] need to get some real leaders

This pretty much sums up our problem and the solution when it comes to defending our part of the globe.

Europe doesn't want to alienate the US too much.

A US alienated too much would be a serious problem, because yes, we do need them. At the same time; we're a bigger group of people, with a stronger foundation when it comes to healthcare and education (i'd argue that also makes us a stronger and smarter group of people). Yet we need leaders who understand our position and understand we're not powerless sheep doomed to follow the big bad United States where ever they please. We need leaders or that lead.
