European defense spending is on the rise, but the growth rates vary among countries. Germany and Poland are significantly increasing their military budgets, while France, Italy, and Spain have not kept pace, leading to an intensification of the imbalance. By 2029, Germany's military expenditure is expected to be twice that of France, raising questions about whether this divergence is acceptable.

Abstract generation in progress

We are conducting an experiment. European defense spending is increasing, but not every country’s spending is growing at the same rate.

Germany and Poland are vigorously rearming, with both absolute military expenditures and their share of GDP on the rise. France, Italy, and Spain are either unaware of the urgency or cannot afford it. The result is a new imbalance.

According to current trends, by 2029, Germany’s military spending will be roughly twice that of France. “Variable geometry” is the trendy slogan of the moment. But is this a divergence that Europe can accept?
