European military and political leaders have spent recent weeks warning against the possibility of Russia launching attacks against more European countries. Europeans have not seen a major war (with the exception of the Balkan civil wars of the 1990s) since the end of the Second World War in 1945.

The most obvious change is the increasingly real possibility that Donald Trump, who assures that he will fail to comply with his country's obligations as a member of NATO, will return to the White House in 10 months. European security services are making new analyzes of current Russian military threats and new military capabilities.
