Europe has been lax on its own security, given that they had the guarantee that the mighty US military would come to help with NATO.
Now that the US's President is saying he won't help, a sort of European NATO is required and, for that to make sense, European countries need to step up on their own military spending. I just hope that they don't decide to buy armament from American companies... that would jsut be another shot in the foot.
Of course, Europe doesn't really need to spend that much, jsut enough to renew the stock that was spent going to Ukraine.
Also, if the boogeyman is Russia, we're talking about 130M people vs 600M. However, if the boogeyman is the whole Middle-East, then things are more balanced.
I wonder what would happen in terms of population migration under a scenario of war in Europe, after decades of migration from Africa and the middle east into Europe due to conflicts there.
