註釋In late 2014, the U.S. Department of Defense launched a defense initiative, often called the "Third Offset Strategy," to ensure that Washington maintains technological superiority and "military dominance for the 21st century." If the Europeans are not to be also offset by the U.S. military's next leap forward, they will have to be engaged in this process. However, the initiative and its concrete implications remain unclear to most European partners, and even if they did understand the U.S. vision better, the lack of strategic discussions at the European level prevents Europe from developing its own coherent, complementary vision. Budget, short-term security priorities and political constraints limit the European ability to design strategic ambitions for the long term. Though the United States and its European allies do not share the same strategic starting point for a constructive dialogue around the Third Offset, they must try. Failure to do so poses clear risks for defense interoperability, deterrence policy, and, eventually, for the transatlantic security partnership as a whole
