LUCIO CARACCIOLO: L’EUROPA SI PREPARA ALLA GUERRA TOTALE ? | Roma📅 14 luglio 2026

Do we want total war? Lucio Caracciolo, Romano Ferrari Zumbini, and Giacomo Mariotto present the new issue of Limes, dedicated to German rearmament and the transformation of Europe's military balance. For the first time since the birth of the Federal Republic, Berlin has developed a military strategy that aims to give Germany a central role in the continent's defense. Not a true European army, but a system of national armed forces integrated around a German center. Giacomo Mariotto analyzes the so-called "geopolitics of the anchor," the project through which Germany could become the framework nation for European security by gradually integrating the armies of the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Romania, and other states on NATO's eastern flank. Romano Ferrari Zumbini, on the other hand, offers a more skeptical interpretation: would German society, educated for decades in pacifism and antimilitarism, really be ready to support a rearmament of this scale? Who will drive the tanks and who will agree to fight? Lucio Caracciolo also addresses the risk of direct conflict with Russia, the war in Ukraine, the Ukrainian demographic crisis, the rise of the AfD, the progressive reduction of the American presence in Europe, and the difficulties in creating a truly European army. A discussion on the possibility that Europe has embarked on a slippery slope toward a new phase of wars, national rearmament, and growing competition between powers.
