Zaki Laïdi: Europe ‘at war’ on three fronts

The US, China, and Russia all resent the EU’s sharing of sovereignty among its states and want to undermine it. The EU must bolster its military to protect its liberal ideals, says Zaki Laïdi.

For the first time since 1957, three major powers — the US, China, and Russia — have an interest in weakening Europe. They squeeze the EU in different ways, but they all share a hostility to its governance model.
