As for other parts of the world, a recent Pew poll found that many Europeans would like Europe to play a larger role, but to balance American military power would require a doubling or tripling of defense spending, and few Europeans are interested in such an increase. Nevertheless, a smart strategy for Europe will require greater investments in hard power.
对于世界其他地方而言，最近的一项皮尤调查显示，许多欧洲人想要让欧洲发挥更大的作用，但是，平衡美国的军事实力将会要求军费翻两番或者三番，而欧洲人很少对于这样的增加军费感兴趣。但是，欧洲的灵巧战略要求在硬性实力上更大的投资。
