You might think it is over attitudes to food or sport, policy towards China or something about the guardrails needed for capitalism. Not a bit of it. The biggest split is over cars. Americans expect to drive huge ones, ideally something that has the heft and noise of an elephant. Europeans are far likelier to opt for smaller beasts. When an American friend once visited, renting a stylish but tiny Fiat 500 at the airport, his teenage daughter was mortified, announcing it was obviously a toy vehicle and not fit for the road. Admittedly, Europeans are also driving bigger cars than they used to https://click.e.economist.com/?qs=03fc1b2ca2f58d6a852d6fd76651e53f3141a27fdfd47d1a0b2ac05da4759ec42670de15b17db15b81dcf2f64b5279575ed591e123957a0e3f6a098afed0ad36 . But Americans increasingly prefer monsters, relishing the thrill of revving up a big truck and judging that, for drivers and their passengers, bigger vehicles bring more safety. Unfortunately, as we set out in a new article published this weekend https://click.e.economist.com/?qs=03fc1b2ca2f58d6af7d262eba096790ca357ff364380b1f2f5484a8bea3d3a97a788f645c7d6918a669fc3bfc6f3d2f6d1da7fd92c7288675be7b1dbdbad56af , this is becoming a fatal trend for others on or near the road. The monsters increasingly flatten pedestrians, cyclists and drivers of smaller cars. Last year one pollster noted that 41% of Americans thought SUVs and pickup trucks had grown too big. Too right. Germany is on our minds today. State elections in the east of the country are usually not of huge interest to outsiders, but the two held today help to show how strong extremists are becoming in the political system. The hard-right Alternative for Germany, which stirs up support on the back of hostility to refugees and other migrants, looks to have come top https://click.e.economist.com/?qs=03fc1b2ca2f58d6a87e3514420ee17710b0a3fc17196203f4d0fa845872b8210db9a310089865b40d7d5cef6c6ca5b6cef1ea90977d9d626367490275463c90a in Thuringia and appears to have run the conservative Christian Democratic Union close in Saxony—though it won’t be in government in either state. On the hard left, the party of Sahra Wagenknecht, a pro-Russian opposition leader who is hostile to migrants, seems to have come third in both places. (Read our weekend profile of Ms Wagenknecht. https://click.e.economist.com/?qs=03fc1b2ca2f58d6a55a08f3e20775d01573258648f8db0cc603a6bc7c705ac8de6cf82e101f2f6d8cacc57364ea298dc34052fe343a9f6065ecc14818ebd9acc ) Our latest Dateline history quiz is now live. Do you remember the year DVDs were launched? Or when Jack the Ripper prowled the streets of London? I certainly didn’t. Finally, our caption competition has been drawing you in in ever greater numbers. Thank you all for voting and for your suggested captions. This week I’ve chosen an image that we used on our cover in 2017. Back then we asked whether social media posed a threat to democracy. What caption would you write for it, or Mark Zuckerberg, today? Write to me at economisttoday@economist.com mailto:economisttoday@economist.com?subject=Caption%20context . Last week we asked you to vote on a shortlist of three suggestions for an image of an overstretched businessman. The winners, by a long stretch, were Keith Parr, David Paterson and Jim, who all proposed “Elon-gated”. Finally, we now want your votes on which of the following three ideas work best with the image, below, of Kamala Harris. You can vote for your favourite entry by clicking the blue tick below your favourite entry. (When you click you’ll be taken to The Economist’s website, but don’t worry—your vote will be registered.)

Europeans once entertained the fuzzy hope that, as president, <a data-linkto="https://" href="https://click.e.economist.com/?qs=03fc1b2ca2f58d6a70f5987743c1166849b591d1ced363015b9ca5ac8f86d9992198121c4d4ea3266bc65bcd4b25bb786c0af4837a5c62f450eace1f61860632" style="text-decoration:none;" title="Donald Trump">Donald Trump</a> would strengthen Ukraine before seeking a ceasefire. They had dared to imagine that Mr Trump, despite his promises to end the war, would stand by the government in Kyiv. After all, America paid a heavy reputational price in August 2021 for its humiliating cut-and-run from Afghanistan. It had been America, with Britain, that pressed Europeans to take seriously the Russian threat in Ukraine, early in 2022. To reverse course in 2025, and reward Vladimir Putin for invading his neighbour, would surely be too damaging to American prestige. <br> <br> As the events of the past few days show, that fuzzy thinking is gone. At least Europeans now face a clear—though bleak—situation. Mr Trump’s <a data-linkto="https://" href="https://click.e.economist.com/?qs=03fc1b2ca2f58d6a7e56b819c623a3b7180f0a305c02f907f54769e17f46d1bb654c262046bc144ed0612f953db82ecc55042b88fc18fb07130ca859ff429014" style="text-decoration:none;" title="90-minute call">90-minute call</a> with Mr Putin was made without consulting Ukraine’s president or his European NATO allies. It is very unclear how much participation either Ukraine or Europe will have in a Trump-led deal to end the war. America’s administration has strongly indicated that Ukraine will not join NATO and indicated willingness to let Russia keep Ukrainian territory it has seized. Mr Trump apparently favours the complete rehabilitation of Mr Putin; he has suggested that Russia could be invited to turn the G7 group of countries back into the G8, though the other half-dozen members would object. You don’t need an AI-powered crystal ball to see that Russia expects to emerge smiling from the coming negotiations. Mr Putin expects that he will not only hold on to stolen territory, but that he will find ways to make the rest of Ukraine into a pliant, pro-Russian state. Less likely, but even more appalling, is the possibility that Mr Trump will allow Russia to dominate much of eastern Europe.<br> <br> What should Europe do? I’d advise, for a start, that Europeans ignore the parallel trolling by Elon Musk and J.D. Vance over domestic politics, for example in Germany. It’s not clear that any voters will be swayed by such outsiders to back the hard-right AfD, for example. (If the <a data-linkto="https://" href="https://click.e.economist.com/?qs=03fc1b2ca2f58d6a85e1ef4ade5657097b0cb34ca8ce829101cb453de8fbd68b651eca01f2ca68a195545c5c92535f9bdb4e3b1d65d3a819d599bc504e609959" style="text-decoration:none;" title="AfD">AfD</a> does well in Germany’s election next Sunday, look for domestic reasons, not American ones.) Mr Vance’s claim that Europeans are intolerant of free speech certainly spread dismay in Munich last week. But remember that Mr Vance was mostly speaking to an audience of one back home, displaying his loyalty to Mr Trump. <br> <br> Most important, Europe must move fast in organising a much stronger defence for itself. American protection is fast falling away. Europeans should now be prepared for the possibility that America will, perhaps soon, withdraw its own troops and guarantees from the old continent. If the world is becoming one in which might makes right, and if America has lost its will to subsidise its fellow democracies’ defences, then a rich, ageing and underpowered Europe is woefully exposed. Without urgent efforts, Europe risks having little might with which to defend its rights. <br> <br> <a data-linkto="https://" href="https://click.e.economist.com/?qs=03fc1b2ca2f58d6a80899c053dd01bdaab92367417a190d40decaffc96c77735117676b38a3ed59a7e0f2984b69957e2938b3a05f530d2bbaa45b794e599d0da" style="text-decoration:none;" title="Volodymyr Zelensky">Volodymyr Zelensky</a>, Ukraine’s president, talks of creating a pan-European army. Old discussions about how much more military kit to buy from America, and how much more to produce in Europe, will be resumed. (The only reasonable answer: do both.) Britain, rightly, is signalling it will co-operate closely with others in Europe, despite Brexit. European leaders are reportedly to gather for an emergency summit in Paris on Monday to discuss how to bolster security. At a bare minimum they must find ways to increase the share of public spending on defence to well above the current NATO target of 2% of GDP. I’d argue for a new target twice as high, along with credible explanations of how other public spending will fall to accommodate this. That, however, is just a start. <br> <br> As an old period of security is coming to an end, huge questions are opening up. Are we now in an era of might makes right? How might smaller, more open countries cope in such a world? I’d like to hear your views.
