Considering the growing rift between transatlantic allies, has “model ally” Warsaw done anything to cause offense in the White House? “That does not look like retribution. It just looks like either poor communication or really bad strategic decision,” retired Gen. Ben Hodges, former Commander of U.S. Army Europe, told TVP World, assessing the reasoning behind the unexpected policy shift. What is driving U.S. military decisions in Europe? Why were U.S. European NATO allies left out of the loop, and not for the first time? And with the tide seemingly turning in the Ukraine war, will Trump’s abandonment of Kyiv result in long-term negative consequences for the U.S.?
