Europe's Strategic Atrophy: A Cautionary Tale of Dependency in a Multipolar World

Europe has dangerously outsourced its defense to the United States, its industrial backbone to China, and its energy security to Russia, leaving it vulnerable in a shifting geopolitical landscape. This colonial-era mindset of dependence on others has atrophied Europe's strategic autonomy, threatening to reduce it to a museum of its own past glories unless it awakens to the reality of a multipolar world led by the Global South.

India has pushed amendments to the IT Rules requiring AI-generated content to be labeled and platforms to verify synthetic media in response to a viral deepfake of actress Rashmika Mandanna. This well-intended but poorly executed policy demonstrates how rushed techno-regulation risks failing both technically and socially while empowering global tech giants at the expense of local innovators.
