    the reductions would create gaps that would be particularly difficult to fill rapidly for some types of military assets, including submarines and strategic bombers

    Where is the actual gap for a defensive alliance without any interest in bombing countries on another continent into submission US-style?

    There is a reason European countries have zero strategic bombers but use multi-role jets as bombers, and why they operate a lot smaller (and much stealthier…) submarines that can actually operate in their coastal regions. It’s called defense instead of raiding third world countries for oil.

    Edit: Lol… I wrote this before even taking a look at the other “related” articles shown at the bottom. Advocating for a stronger stance against Europe as those lazy bums refuse to change anything with Trump still being that nice? Explaining how starting an illegal war in Iran is actually an immense help for Ukraine? In what insane alternative reality do they write this bullshit?
