Großwald Curated | No. 18: CEE Budget Blitz, Berlin Gearshift, Baltic Hardening, Gotham
April 27 - May 4, 2025 | NATO & European Defense – Weekly Briefing. Curated for Policy, Intelligence, and Defense Communities in NATO / EU.
Europe’s defence re‑armament now runs on a twin engine: Central‑Eastern Europe’s budget blitz and Germany’s late‑cycle gearshift. The eastern flank pours record cash into capability while Berlin tries to turn fiscal heft into alliance mass. Success hinges on closing what we call the Readiness‑Conversion Gap.
This is a curated dispatch from the front lines of Europe’s defense pivot.
