 Europe in panic mode over rapid depletion of military stockpiles. Unease and alarm are rising across many European countries over the weakened state of national armed forces and depleted military arsenals as the United States takes an increasingly isolationist stance in the Ukrainian conflict, the Wall Street Journal reported. According to the authoritative US publication, Western countries see no immediate military danger to Europe from Russia as long as the conflict in Ukraine continues. But if Russia ultimately wins in Ukraine, few doubt Moscow's capacity to rearm completely within three to four years and cause trouble elsewhere, the newspaper said. Against this backdrop, alarm has grown as America has moved toward a more isolationist stance. On the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the newspaper pointed out. According to the Wall Street Journal, fears are being driven by the realization that much of Europe's industrial capacity to make weapons has eroded over years of budget cuts. After the end of the Cold War, to illustrate the scale of the arms problem, the Wall Street Journal cites data showing that the military arsenal of the United Kingdom, considered Europe's top defense spender, currently has only 150 tanks and about a dozen serviceable long range artillery pieces. France next in military spending has fewer than 90 heavy artillery pieces equivalent to what Russia loses roughly every month in the Ukraine war zone. As for Germany, the Bundeswehr has only enough ammunition for two days of fighting, the newspaper added.
