Cum s-ar apăra NATO de Rusia fără ajutorul SUA? România și statele baltice, punctele critice ale Europei • Newsweek România

A scenario analyzed in Europe suggests that defending NATO's Eastern Flank without U.S. military support would require significant resources, including 200,000 troops and 1,500 tanks. The Baltic region is identified as a critical area, with Romania and the Baltic states on the frontline. The analysis highlights the need for European autonomy in defense, especially given uncertainties about U.S. involvement. Potential Russian tactics could include missile and drone attacks, cyber operations, and sabotage. The logistics of deploying European forces would be challenging, emphasizing the importance of rapid response in the initial days of conflict. Overall, Europe must enhance its military capabilities to compensate for the absence of U.S. support.
