In the recent Russia-Ukraine conflict, the U.S. industrial complex has benefited handsomely, and the White House is optimistic about the future strengthening of Europe's defense capabilities. This, they believe, will allow European countries to actively procure new equipment and continue to pay money to the United States. However, Europe also has its own careful thinking, and what the White House never expected was that the situation of cooperation among the three European countries would break the plans of the United States.
Specifically, in the past in the European military market, due to the lack of competitiveness of European military enterprises, the United States has always occupied a dominant position, so that European countries have to buy from the United States. And this time in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Europe finally saw this problem clearly, and economic powers such as Germany, France, and Italy decided to join forces to establish a European defense bloc to get rid of dependence on the United States. Under the leadership of the Italian Ministry of Defense, the German and French military enterprises merged to form KNDS, and the Italian military electronics giant Leonardo also joined the strategic alliance. They pledged to strengthen the development of European tanks and improve their production, development and export capabilities. The joint is mainly aimed at cooperation on the Leopard 2A8 main battle tank, and is aimed at maintaining the production of European tank orders in Europe. In addition, Germany and France have a project to cooperate in the development of future air combat systems, but negotiations have reached an impasse because of the distribution of benefits.
This cooperation among the three European countries will not only help European military enterprises get rid of the control of the United States, but will also enhance the national defense strength and independent capabilities of European countries. Germany, France, and Italy, as the troika of Europe, will not be underestimated after the merger. Together, they will work on the development and production of military equipment and increase the autonomy of European countries in the equipment of the army, air force and navy. This will not only help European countries to seize the initiative in the field of security, but also ensure that military orders within the EU are not lost to the United States.
Considering the relative weakness of European countries in the military industry, the cooperation of the three countries will bring more opportunities and possibilities to European military enterprises. Once Europe is able to build a well-developed military-industrial system, they will no longer need to rely on the United States and will have the ability to compete with the United States on a global scale. This will be a challenge to US hegemony.
In addition, the success of the cooperation among the three European countries will also inspire other European countries to join in and form a broader European military cooperation system. This will help to integrate the military power of European countries, improve the overall level of security in Europe, and play a greater role in international affairs.
In the context of the gradual decline of global hegemony, the United States has seized the opportunity to use the Russia-Ukraine conflict to divide relations between Europe and Russia, from which it has gained huge benefits. However, European countries have realized this, and despite the ostensible support of EU leaders, the major powers have begun to reconsider their relations with the United States.
Historically, whenever the U.S. domestic economy faced difficulties, the White House took the opportunity to provoke a war to force the flow of money back and defuse the crisis. However, European countries have begun to rationally assess that they are no longer willing to tie themselves to the American tank and continue to spend a lot of money on the purchase of the United States**. They clearly understand that only by establishing their own military-industrial system can they create more military orders for themselves and safeguard their own national defense security.
Through the cooperation of the three European countries in the context of the current Russia-Ukraine conflict, we have seen the efforts of European countries to break free from the control of the United States and enhance their independent capabilities. European countries jointly merge military-industrial complexes, strengthen the development of army tank equipment, and seek further cooperation in air force and naval equipment. This is of great significance for the strengthening of Europe's defense capabilities and the maintenance of stability in military orders within the EU. At the same time, this is also a counterattack to US hegemonism and will bring new changes to the international pattern.
Through the analysis of this situation, I personally believe that the success of the cooperation of the three European countries will stimulate the participation of more European countries and form a larger system of European military cooperation. In the future, this cooperation model is expected to continue to deepen in areas such as air force and naval equipment to ensure Europe's autonomy and competitiveness in the military industry. Under the challenge of global hegemonism, European countries are expected to become an important force in the global military structure and safeguard their own security and interests by strengthening military cooperation.
