Part 4/9:
Evaluate NATO Membership: Maani suggests that Europe should consider withdrawing from NATO to assert its strategic autonomy. By signaling a willingness to reassess its obligations, Europe could demonstrate its commitment to prioritizing its own interests over those of the United States.
Engage with Russia: Professor Maani emphasizes the necessity of working toward a new strategic bargain with Russia. Given that Europe must coexist with Russia for the foreseeable future, acknowledging its security concerns and cultivating a cooperative relationship may help stabilize the region.
