Europeans are not ready to defend their countries – media

Modern youth in European countries are career-oriented and do not want to enter the service.

While Iran, North Korea and Russia are building up their armies, the size of the military forces of European countries is decreasing. The Economist wrote this on Thursday, April 18.

“Western countries, for the most part, have abandoned conscription and are training contract armies.

According to journalists, modern European youth do not strive for military service because they are career oriented.

“And the armed forces cannot compete with private companies that offer careers and income in poor labor markets, it is difficult for the army to compete with the private sector,” the journalists explained.

Additionally, journalists believe that young people “despise war.”

The publication indicates that the French and residents of Scandinavia remain the most desirable in the army in Europe.

“In France, this share is 58%.

This situation, the authors of the material note, is pushing European governments to return to compulsory military service.

“In liberal societies, large parts of the population think of military service as someone else’s job. Reintroducing compulsory military service for young people may be politically and practically ineffective,” the publication concluded.

Russia may be ready to attack NATO countries in five to eight years. This was stated by the Inspector General of the Bundeswehr, Carsten Breuer.

Let’s remember that earlier the media wrote that the Bundeswehr (German Armed Forces) was preparing for a possible conflict between Russia and NATO and modeled the scenario of a Russian attack on NATO.
