A UK Commentator Raises Concerns Over EU's Defense Integration Plans, Accuses Joe Biden of Collusion. In a strongly worded commentary, Gwythian Prins highlights the potential threat to British national security posed by the EU's "Permanent Structured Cooperation" (Pesco) project, which aims to deepen defense cooperation among member states. Prins criticizes President Biden's reported support for Ursula von der Leyen as a potential successor to Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, arguing that it aligns with Emmanuel Macron's desire for an EU leader at the helm. He urges British ministers to engage proactively with emerging alliances centered around Poland to preserve Nato's cohesion and safeguard national sovereignty.
