Henrik Dahl, a Danish MEP, supports NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte's comments on the EU's military reliance on the US, arguing that Europe lacks independent military capabilities. He criticizes moral posturing in response to Rutte's statements and emphasizes the need for Europe to understand the costs of achieving autonomy in defense. Rutte faced backlash for suggesting that Europe should not expect to defend itself without US support, highlighting the need for increased military spending and capabilities.
