the U.S. is reportedly considering relinquishing the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) position—held by American generals since 1949. This seismic shift, part of a broader Pentagon cost-cutting overhaul, has triggered alarm among diplomats and defense experts. Could this signal a retreat from European security at a critical time in Russia’s war on Ukraine? Retired military officials warn that losing this leadership post could be irreversible, even hinting at a possible U.S. exit from NATO.

Beyond NATO, the restructuring raises concerns about U.S. military priorities worldwide, with potential cuts affecting operations in Africa, Latin America, and the Indo-Pacific—where plans to counter China are now in question.
