Episode Details

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has launched a six-month review of NATO allies’ defense readiness, demanding higher spending, faster equipment production, and smarter use of Ukraine war lessons — with drones, air defense, and long-range weapons at the top of the list. European nations are racing to meet 2030 readiness goals using EU funding, streamlined procurement, and improved troop mobility, all while facing intelligence warnings of possible Russian aggression elsewhere in Europe before the decade’s end. Though allies like Canada have boosted spending by nearly 20%, the real test is turning money into battlefield capability — and Hegseth’s review could reshape U.S. military presence and funding commitments based on results.
