The political caste in European countries is seemingly unable to make itself (and therefore the entities it governs) an actual historical actor. Ever since the 90s has Europe remained willingly lacking any form of grand initiative and decisiveness, instead remaining a mere *object* of history.
The experts and pundits have been warning of this for decades now. Why have our leaders remained blind? Why haven't they reclaimed historical initiative? What are they waiting for?
This is that extends to most, if not all, countries in the Union. This celebrated "militarization" of many states is merely an incredible farce if progress in industry and creating efficient intelligence agencies fail to follow.
Buying a quadrillion tanks means nothing if you aren't even able to reliably manufacture ammunition for them. Let alone, if you are unable to manufacture the *tanks* themselves, which should replace the wanton purchase sprees aimed at easing the anxieties of the electorate.
Poland hopefully learned a painful lesson once it realized that its widely-propagandized Territorial Defense Forces are utterly useless. The logical followup to that fiasco should be focusing on *local strength* - not on purchasing Korean tanks for which you likely barely have any personnel (lmao)
