In a candid and urgent address, renowned foreign policy expert and former White House advisor Dr. Fiona Hill has issued a stark warning to the United Kingdom and its Western allies: the United States is no longer a dependable global partner.
“We’re in pretty big trouble,” Hill stated during a panel discussion on European security in London. “The UK must prepare to respond to threats by becoming more cohesive and resilient, because the U.S. can no longer be counted on in the way it once was.”
Dr. Hill’s comments come amid increasing concerns over America’s political volatility, partisan gridlock, and what she describes as an “erosion of global leadership” since the end of the Cold War.

She highlighted the growing unpredictability of U.S. foreign policy, pointing to recent withdrawals from international agreements, inconsistent NATO commitments, and rising internal division within the U.S. political system.
“If we keep assuming the U.S. will swoop in every time, we’re setting ourselves up for collapse,” Hill warned. “We are in a geopolitical transition period and Europe can no longer afford to be passive.”
Hill emphasized that the United Kingdom must take bold steps to shore up its national security and strategic independence. This includes:
• Deepening European defense cooperation outside of U.S. dependency.
• Investing in cyber and energy security to protect against hybrid threats from Russia, China, and rogue actors.
• Building bipartisan political consensus domestically to withstand international pressure and information warfare.
“The UK has to be more than just America’s wingman,” Hill said. “It must become a central, self-reliant player in shaping the West’s response to an unstable global order.”
Dr. Fiona Hill, a Russia specialist and national intelligence expert, is best known for her role as a key witness in former President Trump’s first impeachment trial. Her blunt assessments and deep expertise in transatlantic relations have earned her widespread respect across political lines.
This isn’t the first time Hill has issued warnings about democratic fragility and overreliance on outdated assumptions of American stability but the tone this time is graver.
Hill’s remarks reflect growing global unease about the future of the liberal democratic alliance. With conflicts escalating in Eastern Europe, tensions rising in the Taiwan Strait, and internal unrest in the U.S., many nations are beginning to rethink their strategies and alliances.
“The myths we tell ourselves about the West must be replaced with real, hard work,” Hill concluded.
