In this episode of The World of Intelligence, I delve into the European Union's ambitious initiative, "Rearm Europe," aimed at revitalizing European defense spending amidst escalating security threats. Joined by expert analysts Andrew McDonald and Guy Anderson from Janes, we discuss the implications of the EU's White Paper on defense readiness for 2030. We explore the historical context of underinvestment in defense, the economic challenges ahead, and the critical need for increased military capabilities. With a focus on funding mechanisms and production capacity, we analyze whether Europe can transform its defense landscape and what this means for its strategic autonomy. Tune in for an in-depth conversation that uncovers the complexities behind Europe's defense future.
