Escalada de amenazas en las fronteras de Europa
La más que probable intensificación del conflicto bélico en Ucrania en otoño se suma a la guerra híbrida que ha emprendido Rusia contra la Unión Europea
The escalation of threats along Europe's borders is a growing concern, as 2025 has seen the most violent conflicts since 1946, leaving a quarter of a million people dead, according to the Oslo Institute for Peace Research. The self-complacent and even lyrical tone of the Pax Americana era is fading, replaced by the "apocalyptic urgency" of post-fascist fascists, according to intellectual Ivan Krastev.
Extremist ethnonationalist groups are rising across the West, while the center-left has disappeared, and migration and technology are fueling resentment. This has created a cannibalistic, violent geopolitical landscape. The United States, which has been the guarantor of the post-war security architecture, is now one of the main agitators in the global theater of operations and has significantly contributed to breaking the old rule that borders cannot be forcibly redrawn.
Europe, along with the Middle East, is the world region most affected by this new global disorder. The direct consequence of the end of the U.S. security umbrella in the Old Continent is increased vulnerability for Europe, which is entering "a new era in which it will have to spend much more on defense and security," according to analyst Robert D. Kaplan.
