In this episode of Warsaw Debate, hosts Grzegorz Nawrocki and Małgorzata Bonikowska confront one of the most urgent geopolitical considerations of our time: “Europe is powerless without the U.S.”
For decades, Europe has relied on America’s security umbrella, technological leadership, and financial stability. But with growing uncertainty in Washington, war in Ukraine reshaping the security landscape, and rising global tensions, old assumptions are being challenged.
Is Europe capable of strategic autonomy? Could the transatlantic alliance weaken? And what would that mean for the continent’s future?
Top experts take the floor to argue for and against the motion, including:
– Dr. Alicja Fijałkowska-Myszyńska, American Studies Centre, University of Warsaw
– Henryka Bochniarz, Founder of Lewiatan Confederation, former CEO of Boeing Central Eastern Europe
– Dr. Przemysław Gasztold, War Studies University in Warsaw
– Agnieszka Skuratowicz, European Commission expert on EU external relations
The debate concludes with special online commentary from Georgette Mosbacher, the former U.S. Ambassador to Poland.
As global alliances shift and the war in Ukraine continues to redefine security in Europe, the question has never been more pressing.
Is Europe truly independent — or still standing in America’s shadow?
