Avertisment sumbru din interiorul NATO: Europa ar putea pierde un război de uzură cu Rusia din cauza lipsei de pregătire a populației

Defense planners collaborating with NATO express concerns that Europe is unprepared for a prolonged war with Russia, particularly in a hybrid conflict scenario. The lack of public readiness for a long-term conflict poses challenges for military strategists. Growing support for populist forces in key European military states threatens proposals for a new coordination group, especially as the U.S. plans to reduce its conventional defense commitments. Recent discussions highlighted the urgency of addressing the hybrid threat from Russia, with fears that populist movements may exploit public anxieties. The MSC forum emphasized the need for a unified European defense strategy, particularly in light of potential U.S. troop deployment decisions.
