Europe's strategies amid shifting US military support
The article indicates that Europe is planning to strengthen its defenses independently of the American military role, amid a decline in the presence of U.S. forces on the continent. Brussels has announced the formation of a group of former political and military leaders to study the future of European defense, while maintaining NATO as a fundamental pillar of security. The plan focuses on investing in European capabilities and integrating Ukraine's expertise, reducing reliance on American assets which are considered the "operating system" of the alliance. It aims to develop local military capabilities through funding of up to 150 billion euros for defense projects, with the goal of creating a more independent and sustainable system. The European military transformation also involves changing defense strategies from rapid maneuvering to deterrence and attrition tactics, to better face Russian challenges. Additionally, it seeks to enhance European defense industries and cut down on imports, emphasizing internal development and knowledge exchange with Ukraine.
