- What is the expected impact of the US elections on domestic and foreign policy?
- The US elections will significantly impact domestic conflicts within American society and the economy. The effect on foreign policy remains uncertain, but major shifts are unlikely regardless of the outcome.
- How has the war in Europe revealed weaknesses in the EU and Germany's capabilities?
- The war in Europe has exposed the EU's and Germany's reliance on external factors for essential functions. This highlights vulnerabilities in areas such as economics, industrial production, security, and defense.
- What is the significance of the Pacific region in US foreign policy, and what role does Taiwan play?
- The Pacific remains a top priority for the US, particularly due to China's presence and the concentration of global production power there. Taiwan's semiconductor production is a key element in this strategic competition.
- How should Greece approach its foreign policy in light of the differing priorities of the US and its own?
- American priorities and perspectives do not always align with Greece's, and Greece must navigate this reality without resorting to unrealistic aspirations or nostalgic notions.
- What is the strategic importance of Turkey and the Western Balkans in relation to the US and EU interests?
- Greece's role in this broader geopolitical context is minimal; the focus is on maintaining Turkey within the Western camp and advancing the European prospects of the Western Balkans.
