How strong would NATO be without the USA compared to Russia, China and the USA itself?

 

Military reality test: Can Europe guarantee its security without American help?

 

In a time of growing geopolitical tensions and changing transatlantic relationships, there is a fundamental question for the European security architecture: How would military balance shift, should the United States reduce or completely abandon their role as security guarantee in Europe?

 

The present analysis examines the military capacities of the European NATO member states in a hypothetical scenario without American participation and contrasts them to the skills of Russia, China and the USA. A multi-layered picture is revealed: While NATO Europe has considerable resources and potential on paper that could conventionally exceed Russian armed forces, serious structural weaknesses are also evident.

 

The examination reveals critical dependencies on American key technologies, illuminates the fragmentation of the European defense industry and analyzes the challenges of lack of political-military unity. These factors raise the question of whether Europe would be able to defend its security interests independently and at the same time appear on the global stage as a credible player.

 

The findings of this analysis are direct relevance for political decision -makers, defense experts and everyone who wants to understand the future of European security.
