Where did all of Europe’s navies go?

For decades, Europe dominated the seas. The British Empire ruled the waves. France projected power across the globe. And today?

Europe couldn’t even send ships to the Strait of Hormuz when asked.

In this video, I break down what actually happened—not the political spin, not the Twitter takes—but the real structural reasons behind the collapse of European naval power.

We’re going to talk about:

* Why Europe’s fleets shrank after the Cold War

* How the Global War on Terror pulled resources away from navies

* The hidden math problem of naval readiness (hint: you only get 1/3 of your ships)

* Why modern European warships might be too expensive to survive the next war

* And why drones and cheap weapons are changing naval warfare entirely

And at the end, I’ll give you three realistic options Europe has to fix this problem—none of them easy.

Because here’s the reality: Europe didn’t refuse to help in a crisis…They couldn’t.
