 The Independent Thinking podcast episode titled "Should Europe Start Planning for the Worst?" 

Amid the increasingly strained relationship between the US and Ukraine, with President Donald Trump publicly calling Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a "dictator," and a recent meeting between US and Russian diplomats in Saudi Arabia discussing Ukraine’s future without European or Ukrainian representatives, many are questioning whether Europe can still depend on the US for its security.

In this episode, host Bronwen Maddox is joined by:

• Timothy Garton Ash, historian and author,
• Georgina Wright, visiting fellow at the German Marshall Fund,
• Orysia Lutsevych, deputy director for Chatham House's Russia and Eurasia Programme.

They discuss the implications of the US's shifting foreign policy and whether Europe should start preparing for a future without the US as its primary security ally.

For those interested in international affairs, this podcast provides valuable insight on the evolving dynamics of transatlantic relations and Europe's security concerns.
