Europe and Iran
If the U.S. is firing off so much ordnance against Iran, then they can’t use it against the Chinese in, say, two years, and it’s not going to be available for the Europeans against Russia,” said Ed Arnold, a European security analyst at the Royal United Services Institute, a research group in London. Gaps in Europe’s military ability “are well known — we just have not been doing enough about them for a long, long time,” Mr. Arnold added. “And some nations are getting completely found out now.”
