Abstract How can political geographers bring their critical tools to questioning the EU's ‘geopolitical turn’? This commentary challenges the narrative of an EU‐wide ‘Zeitenwende’, pointing out some of the limitations of a ‘geopolitical Europe’ as it is being envisioned currently, while also noting the divided geographies of Europeans’ support for continued military assistance to Ukraine. In closing, the piece points to some of the perils of the rhetoric of ‘no alternative’ in EU geopolitics, noting how it risks leaving the discursive space open to illiberal political forces.
