Context piece
- Delfi presents a discussion about the future of Europe and the United States' role on the continent.
- The topics include Iceland's EU decision, possible benefits for Nigel Farage, Marine Le Pen and Germany's AfD, and a CIA chief's visit to Moscow.
- The discussion also examines whether Lithuania's quiet crisis preparations could increase public insecurity.
Delfi frames its discussion around a stark question: has the strategic battle over Europe's future already been lost?
Gabrielius Landsbergis and Vytautas Bruveris consider whether the United States is already pulling back from Europe. They also discuss Iceland's decision not to resume negotiations on European Union membership.
The conversation asks whether that result could strengthen Nigel Farage, Marine Le Pen and Germany's AfD. It also examines why the CIA chief flew to Moscow, including whether the purpose was to warn Russia, seek an agreement, or negotiate over Ukraine and Iran.
Another question concerns Lithuania's quiet preparations for a possible crisis. Rather than reassuring the public, the discussion asks whether those preparations could deepen feelings of insecurity.
