President Trump did not have much love for the NATO union, where he thought it was excessive in American LARES, and in the first term of the collective defense pact refused to leave the pact.
During his second time, Mr. Trump and his high-ranking officials have already become the first priority in the Indo-Pacific, which Europe's security has already become an opponent of its border and the India-Pacific and Chinese societh.
Mr. Trump offered this on Thursday The United States cannot protect NATO members called them, “In general,” that they believe they believe in their protection.
What should Europeans do to replace the great American contribution to NATO?
The answer was said that Washington consists of money, staff, time and cooperation, IVO dualer, the former American colleagues of NATO and the Beads Last Report How to create a “strong European column” from the Belfer Center and the Union.
The central problem was built as an American ruling union, which is intentionally dependent on NATO American management, advanced weapons, intelligence and airports. The existing NATO command structure, General Christopher G. Cavoli is based on the United States and managed by the United States.
“We were able to manage our US allies and forced to do what we want,” he said. He is more practically, the United States is a military military NATO skeleton, and “If you suddenly take the skeleton, the body is dying.”
Money
Compared to other difficulties, the money is the easiest part of the European QUENAN. The question is political will and connection to carry the larger amount and larger amounts as usual.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, stating that last week: “500 million Europeans 300 million Americans ask them to protect them from 140 million Russians.” He said that Europe was not what is said, “It is a belief that we are a global power.”
Friedrich Merz, the next German Chancellor, offered new pressure to Europe, offering about 1 trillion euros or 1.07 trillion euros in the military and infrastructure this week.
Britain, Belgium, Poland and Denmark recently said they would spend more. EU leaders agreed to increase military spending outside the normal debt limit on Thursday. However, in general, the European peoples are ashamed to say that they have to replace the American obligation of experts.
These assessments are changing, but about 1.5 percent of the total domestic product of the European Union, a year, a year learn From the two research facilities, Bruegel and Kiel World Economic Institute.
The study recommends that European peoples spend at least 3.5 percent of GDP in the military; Currently, 32 of the United States, including five of the United States, Spend above 3 percent.
Europeans have a lot of things, but also a very complex weapon presented mainly by the United States. The largest gaps are in integrated air and missile defense and long-range strike capacity, Ben Hodges, former commander of the US Army in Europe.
The “Strategic Opportunities”, including European, transport planes, developed drones and satellites, include “strategic opportunities” and important systems for intelligence, control and discover.
According to him, he has the opportunity to produce more of his weapons. However, it is necessary to better coordinate to invest in the right industries between these nations and buying together.
Ideally, Europe must have sufficient ammunition and missiles to fight high-intensity war for at least six months, but they are very exhausted in Ukraine.
One learn The basics of the International Strategic Studies Institute, the number of war battles and military combat tanks, even despite the annexation of Crimea in 2014, has been static since 2014.
Here, political will, as well as the bureaucratic restrictions and requirements for manufacturers.
The European Investment Bank is prohibited to give loans to give weapons, despite the re-thinking the European Union government.
And the German law requires that the producers of producers produced even before the government. This has no longer been able to produce production for potential sales.
Personnel
Currently, there are only 100,000 US soldiers in Europe – a number that can compare to the University of Michigan Football Stadium – Mr. Hodges he commanded them.
Although the Europeans increase military spending, they will be able to change most of them quickly and fight against any long period.
US soldiers were sent to 20,000 European Europe after Russia attacked Ukraine three years ago. Analysts are waiting for the Trump administration to remove these troops long ago.
Another US troops, Mr. Hodges, Mr. Hodges, Mr. Trump'n also said that the expensive rotation is in Europe.
There are many problems for Europe in changing such numbers.
Only one handful of European people still have the call forces. And it is difficult to attract the correct employment; Salary and career prospects are better in the civilian world. Soldiers, especially in high-tech war or “rear office” work, are difficult to maintain as engineering or mechanics.
To ensure a peace deal with Europeans, the latest proposals to Ukraine will have additional tensions to the staff for a long time.
NATO is already pressuring members to meet the requirements for a new power model. More than 300,000 troops within this contract must be available within 30 days In the event of a crisis, strengthen the Eastern flank of the Union against Russia.
So far, it is not enough to walk around a soldier, logistics specialist and intelligence officers.
“The European armies are now very small to manage arms,” he said now.
“British and Dan are good servicemen to choose two samples, but for more than a week, they will not be able to continue the intense fight,” he said. “It doesn't matter how good you are to be good enough.”
Time
The scale of Americans now managed NATO is very large to change. You will simply take time to buy or prepare the necessary equipment and hire and prepare the necessary troops.
During the normal periods, it will take ten years to arrest Europe, Camille Grand, Deputy Assistant Secretary General of the former NATO A detailed report About the problem of the Council of Europe on foreign relations last year.
Today's accelerating emergency feelings can help Europeans a little more quickly. However, critics have long been waiting for Europe's first presidential presidency to respond to a clear signal, and during the campaign, Russia's friendship.
On both sides, American officials have called on European allies to do more for its protection for 50 years and President of France Emmanuel Macmanon Alerts in 2019 NATO's American commitment was heard about cunning, but very out.
Europeans finally try to solve the money problem. However, they cannot reduce NATO to transfer the NATO from America's dominance to prevent America's government's security to test the American government.
Most importantly, it requires the use of the US transition and to synchronize the retreat with the European establishment.
Collaboration
The United States can be very dangerous without American cooperation to move from an ordinary defense of Europe to Europe.
A sudden American shooting for President Vladimir V. Putin, President Vladimir V. Putin, who wants to shake NATO, would be very tempting. The United States must be ready to wait for the key opportunities to capture the Europeans.
In Ukraine, 900,000 soldiers, 900,000 soldiers, from 900,000 soldiers, from 30,000-4,000 to 40,000 peacekeepers, may lose the ability to refrain from testing NATO's union in Baltics.
This proposed to offer some experts to offer a NATO power in Ukraine, and Mr. Trump's without US troops on the ground is something that is excluded anyway. However, a NATO Force can at least use NATO assets available as control planes and intelligence opportunities within the structure of NATO.
Others, like Max Bergmann, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, I think the United States is the time to reconsider a European army concept.
An army of unit offers a long way to expend the recurrence and spending more efficiently. Who will command such an army and what is difficult to answer under what political power.
The constant European army must be strong to not replace the United States in each capacity, but to be combined with NATO and perform the basic work: Russia must be firm to occupy the occupiers.
After all, he notes, “Europe has about 2 million people on paper and spends about $ 338 billion a year to protect Europe enough or to prevent Russia to prevent Russia.”
