Europe on Alert: Massive Military Buildup Against Russian Threat

As tensions rise across the continent, Europe is entering a new era of rearmament. In the face of an increasingly assertive Russia and the looming reduction of American military presence, European nations are no longer treating defense as an afterthought. Instead, they're taking bold steps to reclaim strategic autonomy and strengthen deterrence. With Russia ramping up military production and outlining long-term confrontation scenarios, and the United States signaling a pivot away from Europe, leaders from Berlin to Paris are accelerating defense investments, expanding armies, and preparing for a future where Europe must stand ready on its own.
