Eurasia, host to the European Command, remains one of the most dynamic and consequential strategic areas on earth. It embraces one of the most successful multilateral military alliances in history, NATO, and the most ambitious attempt at a peaceful, political integration, the European Union. Globally, but particularly within Eurasia and its littorals, Russia is expected to be the operational and technological pacing threat against which USEUCOM must prepare. In many respects, while the ideological threat of the old Soviet Union is not there with the Russian Federation, post-Soviet Russia has its own sphere to defend and influence and now has considerably greater economic resources and viability than the USSR enjoyed during the Cold War. Of critical importance—as it was during the Cold War—is the question of the combined threat to U.S. interests from a cohesive Moscow-Beijing strategic axis, and how best the U.S. and its allies can address that potential threat.
