El general Grynkewich sostiene que las capacidades militares que los aliados han desarrollado desde 2022 compensan la reducción de la presencia americana, aunque la partida de tropas que durante décadas han sido el ancla visible de la defensa europea plantea preguntas que los datos estadísticos no logran responder del todo.

Poland
Baltic States (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia)
Europe
Shift toward European strategic autonomy with NATO allies (Poland, Baltics, Germany) increasing independent military capabilities. US prioritizes global commitments over European presence. Potential realignment of burden-sharing within NATO, with European nations compensating for reduced US forward deployment.
Similar to post-Cold War force reductions in 1990s, but occurring amid renewed Russia-Ukraine tensions; differs in that allied capacity-building partially offsets withdrawal, reducing destabilization risk.

European consumers may face mixed effects: potential short-term economic contraction in regions dependent on US military base spending, but possible long-term benefits from increased European defense spending stimulating local economies and job creation in defense sectors.
Likely acceleration of EU/NATO defense spending initiatives, increased pressure on European nations to meet NATO 2% GDP defense targets, potential shift toward European defense industrial consolidation, and possible trade negotiations regarding US military equipment procurement by European allies.
