Europe’s Strategic Indifference Over Greece and Ukraine

The future of Europe’s security is being played out in Greece and Ukraine. The crises engulfing these two countries are not only economic, stemming from the failures over the years of Athens and Kiev to deal with the fundamental structural weaknesses of their state institutions.

The two crises are also about Europe’s inability to recognize that if Greece quit the eurozone and if Europe backed away from giving Ukraine maximum political and financial support, Europe’s security would be at stake.
