Geopolitical pressure is increasingly driving European nations to allocate more resources toward defense budgets. Recent policy shifts suggest a widening military spending gap, with some estimates pointing to an additional 0.5% of GDP being redirected toward defense capabilities. This strategic reallocation reflects broader shifts in European economic priorities amid heightened regional tensions and security concerns.

Now Europe really has to spend money, 0.5% of GDP. Not a lot to say or little to say, but a bunch of countries are doing the same...

Well, now Europe is really ramping up its military, is there nowhere else to spend the money?

European military spending is going to increase again, how much economic pressure will that bring...

This shift of 0.5% of GDP towards European military spending is a typical resource misallocation. Rather than security considerations, it's more like a Nash equilibrium in political game theory... By the way, wouldn't it be better to use this money for R&D to improve on-chain settlement efficiency?

Oh man, I should have gone all in on the defense fund years ago. Now these Europeans are starting to massively increase their military spending, and I'm still here hesitating about what to do.
