At the Munich Security Conference, historical tensions resurfaced as Russian President Vladimir V. Putin's long-held desire for a diminished American influence in Europe appeared closer to realization. Nearly two decades after his initial call for a new balance of power, officials from the Trump administration hinted at an openness toward collaboration with Russia. This shift raises concerns among European allies about potential U.S. abandonment or hostility. Analysts note that such a change could empower Putin far beyond his Ukraine goals, reflecting a significant evolution in U.S.-European relations since the Cold War.
'Putin has found an American administration that might help him realize his dream,' raising the possibility the U.S. may align with Russia over traditional allies.
'The Kremlin has dreamed of pushing America out of its role as the cornerstone of European security,' indicating a potential shift in U.S. foreign policy.
