At a press conference following a summit on the Ukrainian war, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk delivered a stern warning to European leaders. He argued that Europe must stop depending on American support for defense against Russia and recognize its own capabilities. Tusk pointed out that Europe's decline over the last three decades has been a choice by its political class, highlighting the persistent dangers posed by Russia. He emphasized the need for a shift in leadership quality to revive Europe's strength and avert further decline.
"500 million Europeans begging 300 million Americans to defend them from 140 million Russians. If you can count, count on yourself."
"Decline is a choice - and for 30 years now, decline is what Europe's political class has chosen."
"Poland, like Ukraine, has always been alert to the danger Russia poses... Yet all the while, Western Europe slept."
"What changed after the fall of the Berlin Wall wasn't the people of Europe, but the quality of its leaders."
