Too often responsibility for tensions in Transatlantic relations is put on the US, blaming the US prevails, calls for European autonomy come without further practical steps. Instead, Europe’s political leaders should recognize that we were free-riding for a few decades, should actively communicate that to our societies, should muster political will to increase investment into defence significantly. Experience of Lithuania proves that doing one’s homework in defence provides for strong bilateral Transatlantic ties and confidence in allied partnership.
