Who Will Defend Europe?: An Awakened Russia And A Sleeping Continent

Beskrivelse

Russia is pushing beyond Ukraine, and Europe faces a critical question: can it defend itself? While Ukraine resists the invasion, Moscow is rebuilding its military for future attacks, even as Europe’s defenses have weakened over decades.

The urgent challenge of Europe's defense in the face of a resurgent Russia and shifting global alliances.

For the last thirty years, Britain and much of Europe have been downsizing their armed forces and defense industries, assuming war was a thing of the past. Many countries enjoyed an increasingly fragile 'peace dividend,' relying heavily on the United States to handle their security. But with changes in the US stance and clear aggression from the Kremlin, Europe is now rushing to strengthen its defenses.

Keir Giles presents a compelling and urgent analysis of the difficult decisions that European leaders and citizens must face as war returns to the continent. Preserving the freedom and prosperity Europe has long enjoyed will demand sacrifices from everyone, without exception.

Above all, Giles emphasizes the need for fresh leadership in Europe's defense as the US steps back. He also highlights that the UK has already missed its short window to lead the way in this critical moment.
