Denktank Nederland 2040 interview | Rob de Wijk: ‘Ik vraag me nooit af hoe Nederland er in 2040 uitziet’
Nederland is kwetsbaar in een wereld van geopolitieke spanningen, grondstoffentekorten en klimaatconflicten, stelt Rob de Wijk. Jarenlange onderinvestering in defensie en afhankelijkheid van de VS hebben geleid tot een gebrek aan strategische weerbaarheid. De geopolitieke realiteit vraagt om moeilijke keuzes en realistisch beleid, waarbij investeringen in defensie ten koste zullen gaan van andere uitgaven. Alleen door Europese samenwerking en uitvoerbare, samenhangende beleidskeuzes kunnen we onze veiligheid en welvaart waarborgen.
