Defence strategists are flagging a critical reality: regional conflicts can escalate quickly without sustained American involvement—but Europe holds the key to preventing escalation. The consensus among security experts? Preparedness isn't optional anymore. Without significant European military investment and coordination, short-duration conflicts risk spiraling into prolonged crises, with cascading effects on global markets and financial stability. This geopolitical uncertainty adds another layer to macro risk assessment for asset allocation strategies.

Europe still has to bear it themselves; America can't be trusted.

Europe is really standing firm this time... --- With Uncle Sam gone, can Europe hold up? --- Both macro risks and asset allocation, in plain terms, it means money is going to be lost. --- Military spending is burning money... life is getting hard. --- So retail investors need to watch Europe's military budget before bottom-fishing? I'm stunned. --- Regional conflicts still require the US to come in and put out the fire; overthinking it.

Basically, Europe has to pick up the weapons themselves; Uncle Sam can't be relied on.

Speaking of Europe, they really need to step up now; they can't always rely on the US to back them up. --- Once the US military withdraws attention, geopolitical conflicts could spiral out of control at any moment... Europe's military spending is indeed a weak point. --- So ultimately, it's a money issue—Europe is reluctant to spend. --- Now, with geopolitical risks piling up and market volatility increasing, asset allocation faces another hurdle. --- In plain terms, Europe needs to wake up; just talking won't cut it.

Europe needs to stand firm on its own; just waiting for Uncle Sam is not enough.

Basically, Europe needs to stand up on its own and can't wait around for Uncle Sam to do everything.

European military spending still hasn't caught up, and dragging this out poses greater risks.
