From US pressure over Greenland to high-stakes peace talks on Ukraine, long-standing assumptions about Europe's security are being tested. The Economist's defense editor Shashank Joshi explains how Europe is recalibrating its approach to defense, what this pivotal moment means, and why there may be no return to the old normal.
