The war in Ukraine and a shifting US security strategy are forcing Europe into an uncomfortable reality check. Modern warfare depends on sustained industrial mass production, yet Europe’s defense economy remains nationally fragmented and heavily reliant on the United States. The question is no longer whether Europe seeks strategic autonomy, but whether it can afford continued industrial dependence in an era of protracted conflict.
