Europeans don't believe US would protect them
By EUobserver
Just 10 percent of Europeans believe the US would intervene on their behalf in the event of a military crisis, despite its obligations under Nato, according to a new poll by the European Council of Foreign Relations, a think-tank. More than two-thirds in all counters polled said the EU needed its own defence capacity instead of relying on America. About half said Europe should stay neutral in a US-China conflict.
