The US, however, is trying hard to stay out of Europe’s financial situation. Greece and Germany are at odds over debt repayments, but both are key US allies and Washington does not want to take sides in their financial disagreements. Moreover, the problem is simply too big for it to solve, and domestic politics won’t tolerate anything that looks like a bailout. American interests are taking a new direction as Russia takes a more aggressive stance in the region, particularly in Ukraine. Protecting Europe from Russia is a fundamental US interest. As a result, a new non-NATO alliance is evolving between the US, Poland, Romania, and the Baltic states. |
