Europe is facing a geopolitical turning point after the latest Munich Security Conference exposed deep anxiety over the collapse of the post–Cold War order. As multipolarity accelerates, NATO strategy, U.S. hegemony, and European "strategic autonomy" are all being questioned.

With leaders like Chancellor Merz and President Macron raising nuclear deterrence debates, and Washington pushing Europe to align under U.S. leadership, the cracks inside the EU are becoming impossible to ignore. Germany’s rearmament plans, the Ukraine war, NATO expansion, BRICS influence, energy crisis, deindustrialization, and the global power shift toward China and Asia are reshaping the balance of power.

Is Europe prepared for a multipolar world — or is it doubling down on a fading unipolar system? This breakdown covers NATO, Russia, Ukraine, U.S.–EU tensions, European military strategy, and the future of global order.
