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. Defense spending in Europe is increasing, but not every country’s spending is growing at the same rate.

Germany and Poland are ramping up rearmament aggressively; whether in absolute defense expenditures or as a share of GDP, both are rising. France, Italy, and Spain either have not recognized the urgency or cannot afford it. The result is the emergence of a new imbalance.

Based on current trends, by 2029, Germany’s defense spending will be about twice that of France. “variable geometry” is a popular slogan of the moment. But can Europe accept this kind of division?
