The United States paus all military aid for Ukraine. And so Europe will have to invest much more in defense at lightning speed. This leads to feverish consultation in the European Union and beyond.

In this episode, Maarten and Marike want to know how much money is needed to get European defense in order and where Europe has to get that money from. How is Europe going to fill the gaps that the Americans leave? Should European countries borrow, tax heffers or cuts? And about the plans to borrow more together as Europe: what are the benefits and dangers of that?
