New European militarization lacks strategic thinking and realistic analysis

Security experts and American leaders have always advised their European allies in NATO (NATO) to increase their defensive spending at least a quarter of a century ago, as it was initially as an ordinary demand, then it became more urgent, and then the matter rose to noise that deaf the call to prayer after US President Donald Trump took power on January 20. But this approach puts the military spending vehicle, as a share of local product, in front of the dynamic assessment horse of the threats facing European countries in reality, according to American analysts.

Spend to reach a random share of GDP to buy a armament system, as a weak alternative to a comprehensive strategy for European security.

The European security strategy that deserves this name must include diplomatic and political efforts, that is, diplomacy to end the war in a short time, followed by a mechanism of consultations in crises that constitute the beginning of a new European security structure consisting of mutual systems to reduce arms, confidence -building, and disarm at the end.

A new war tendency

The closer view of Europe shows that a new military tendency has swept the toast of the continent, and has reached its climax in recent weeks. This new military trend was not manifested anywhere as much as it is in Germany, where political leaders and a new group of “military experts” exchange each other.

The Germans have circulated the term “skill in war”. After suspending compulsory military service in 2011, large -scale calls from various political spectrums are now raised to re -implement them and expand their scope to include women, amid concern that German youth are very weak on the war. But this new European militarization lacks strategic thinking and analysis based on reality and reality.

Understanding institutions

Indeed, this new military policy of Europe undermines its democratic and legal institutions. In Germany, the dilapidated parliament is pushing into constitutional changes to allow new debts for public spending, a step marred by doubts regarding its democratic legitimacy, as it is a slap in the face of the German people, which has been informed for the past 15 years, that the debt contained in the German constitution is a fixed law that does not change, Under spending, bridges that go according to their times or health care, can lead to the ruin of Germany.

In the meeting of the European Council held on the sixth of March, the governments of the European Union countries agreed to manage a loan of 150 billion euros to facilitate defense spending by member states, and immediately this appeared to be legal.

It is known that the founding agreement of the European Union prohibits, clearly and publicly spending on anything related to defense or armies.

Another 650 billion euros is to be offered by the Union’s member states to buy weapons, according to which it will be exempted from the strict restrictions imposed by the European Union on borrowing.

Feeling of betrayal

The citizens of the European Union, who witnessed the starvation of the luxury countries in which they live, and looted their general assets in the name of the financial discipline imposed by Brussels, have all the reasons for feeling treason.

“The pressure groups for weapons multiply like mushrooms in Brussels.”. This is expected to be accompanied by calls to reduce spending on social issues more. As economist Isabella Weber said, these austerity policies were the main reason for the increasing position of the right and non -democratic parties.

It is possible that the arms calls and accompanying the austerity can lead to unimaginable matters. The right -wing “alternative for Germany” wants to re -recruit compulsory recruitment as well, as well as obtain German nuclear weapons. In fact, the defeat of Ukraine at the hands of Russia and its occupation completely, then the Russian forces crawled to Poland, and then through the “Branderburg” gate, violates the military facts currently noted in this war.

Loss of power and status

But European elites seem to fear the loss of power and status, and the loss of the global domination position that they indirectly enjoyed in the shadow of the comfortable American nuclear umbrella.

“Europe is able to victory in any military, financial or economic confrontation with Russia, we are more powerful than it,” said Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

For his part, French President Emmanuel Macron said that “European capabilities are strong enough to be able to stand up to the United States, and even more than that confront Russia as well, and with this mentality, European superiority must be in all aspects.” About «Reesbonspal Stetkraft»
