Unfortunately Europe has to pick between actually taking decisive actions and doing something or another 20 years of stagnation (i.e. institutional stability).

You can’t have both..

Indeed. That's why it's making moves to aggressively rearm right now - so it can move as its own entity on the geopolitical stage.

Once that's complete and the dependence on the US is broken, expect more dramatic moves.

And those decisive actions will probably end up being bottle cap style.
