Doug Wise &Richard Barrons,Cipher Brief
Europe's defense capability is at the nadir ((n.) the lowest point of something) of a cycle of decline since the end of the Cold War. It was less critical at the time when Europe and its allies, principally the U.
S., and held sway in the world,but that period has ended as Russia and China, now near-peers, or have asserted themselves regionally and globally.
Disruptive change in European defense is needed,and rapidly, because adversary military capability has been dramatically rising from Russia's and China's thoughtful and strategic investment in current military methods and technologies.
