As Germany cuts a deal on US missiles, Europe weighs up dependence on Washington

Germany's decision to purchase US Tomahawk missiles highlights a significant shift in its defense strategy amid stalled European defense initiatives, like the Franco-German tank maker and a failed European fighter jet project. This move raises questions about Europe's ability to develop its own defense capabilities and whether it can truly reduce its reliance on US military technology. As Europe grapples with these challenges, the implications extend beyond military autonomy, potentially affecting international relations and security dynamics across the continent.
