I expect to see significant militarization in Europe well before the end of the decade.
America has no economic or political will to find land wars in Eurasia for the foreseeable future, and will move towards a Cold War-style proxy balancing strategy. Germany, France and the U.K. appear to be trying to drive Europe towards a sustainable regional defense, even if they have to drag the rest of the EU with them.
This trend will have significant repercussions for East-West military stability.
