It is noted that the pessimism reflects concerns that Russia could win the so-called hybrid war with Europe, weakening the capabilities available to NATO military planners in the event of a military conflict.
The growing support for populist forces in Europe’s leading military powers also threatens proposals for a group of five European countries, including the United Kingdom (E5 — ed.), to assume a new coordinating role as the United States prepares to reduce its commitments to Europe’s traditional defense
— the article says.
It is indicated that the E5 proposes bringing together all European countries with significant defense-industrial potential and, possibly later, the “inclusion of Ukraine in the context of a ceasefire,” as Kyiv currently has “the largest and strongest army in Europe.”
We remind you
NATO has for the first time conducted exercises to defend against Russian nuclear submarines without U.S. participation.
