I can't speak for all countries but of the people assuming Europe will be fine, most seem to be rifht wing voters. It's a good thing not everyone is in panic mode, but I agree people should be more aware of the current direction the world is heading in but there are also a lot of people who actually like this direction.

We could also have given Ukraine so much they won the war 2 years ago, problem is we also want healthcare, education and decent pensions. I mean it's good the German army feels we should help Ukraine win the war but let's not act as if this is a simple feat that doesn't require a lot of money. Without free American weapons it will be a lot harder to defend ourselves against Putins warmongering.

I wonder in what ways he means dependence, because in a lot of ways we are getting less dependent on US but there are a few things we can't do ourselves yet and it will take time to get it done. I hope he is saying we will have to rely on the US to appease Trump, knowing we should move away ASAP instead of him actually believing it. I'm afraid it is the latter.
