"I am sure the European countries would enlarge their military forces to compensate, at an expense to social programmes"
That is what would be needed. It would be a bit of a change for them as social programs seem pretty important to the populations, as anyone would expect. Its easy to give but hard to take away. Maybe they would but when Trump said he might not be parking US tanks on the European lawn it was Europe who twitched.
""Relies" is a strong word."
Good article, which finishes with an important issue. If the green push doesnt work then Germany will be reliant on gas and its fields are almost depleted. Considering the green roll out has been a disaster (subsidy to green tech, then also subsidy to fossil fuel so the lights actually stay on) there is reason for concern. Germany may not be 100% dependent on Russian gas but they do rely on it as far as I am aware (I have been known to be wrong).
