Indeed. But for the last 30 or 40 years anyone trying to raise awareness about that was disqualified in one way or another. It was as painful as when people tried to discuss the necessity of, you know, not delegate EU defense to the USA.

Now, the damage has been done and it's deep. It will be much more difficult and so, so much more costly to try to get out of that situation... without any assurance we will succeed.
