The only thing I agree with is that the EU should get stronger militarily.
The rest of this article is neocon/industry hogwash. Hegseth instructed the EU in 2025 to get stronger and finance the US proxy war in Ukraine.
The article also panders to big business by promoting AI. It mentions none of the issues that populations face in the EU (housing, immigration. inflation).
One wonders who buys his Substack subscriptions ...

1.) Hegseth can not "instruct" EU.
2.) The Ukraine war is not US proxy war, after all US is not supporting Russian invasion. That war was started by Russia because Russia wants to expand and steal other countries.
"You challenged Europe to step up. You challenged us to step up on Ukraine, on defense spending, on European security,” he said. “And I say to you that we have, we are and we will further."
You can look up the corresponding YouTube video and be amused by Healey's servile and submissive attitude when talking face to face with Hegseth.

Europe needs to ensure its defence spending is in Europe, not buying stuff from other countries. Yes it as an opportunity to re industrialise.
