Critical evaluation of militarization of Europe
Introductory thesis
The militarization of Europe represents one of the most profound geopolitical shifts since the end of the Cold War. Driven primarily by the US invented and led anthropological war (for and of values), the 2022 Russian special military operation and a huge number of sanctions (more than 30 thousands) involving extraterritorial application of law and replacing traditional diplomacy by transactional one, European nations have rapidly pivoted from decades of post-Cold War defence budget cuts (sometimes called the “peace dividend”) toward aggressive rearmament, expanded military alliances, and a restructuring of domestic economies to sustain prolonged warfare.
