• Eight decades after Nazi capitulation, the political, economic and moral order that cemented the reconstruction of Europe is wavering and seriously wounded.
• The US's desertion from the western alliance contributes to this destabilization.
• This devolution is driven by autocracies aiming to dispute the old rule-based order.
• Threats include Putin's neo-tsarism, Chinese imperialism and the severance of the transatlantic link.

Conclusion: Europe needs to rebuild itself on autonomous pillars to defend its way of life, ensuring deterrence and strengthening ties with western partners.
