The challenge, of course, is that as you feign a different style, you might induce a different substance from your ally.
And we're seeing that change in substance by European policymakers, which seem a bit more willing than ever before to stand up to the president, despite their increased commitments, at least on paper, to meet defense spending needs.
know uh beefing up is always going to be a promissory thing uh but when rubber hits the road about things where there is their interest or areas in the world where they have a greater economic interest uh you know where nato allies for example are more reliant on persian gulf energy we haven't seen them put their money where their mouth is or even be willing to put their limited military capabilities where their mouth is it's been about two months now of the europeans particularly a conversation between the french and the germans
talking about what a counter-mining mission might look like in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz, what an international escort mission might look like.
But all of those things, which again, are not just budgetary promises, are real concrete actions that they could take, still remain confined to the world of political rhetoric.
And that induces more kind of counterproductive hedging away from the alliance, in my view, from the president, and it's a rinse and repeat cycle.
