Europe is reportedly expanding its conscription regime in a robust move against Russia. The nature and specifics of this move are yet to be revealed. The decision is majorly driven by increasing tensions and growing geopolitical uncertainties on the European continent. These developments pose potential implications for international stability and security, making it a matter of global concern.

The Japanese population is generally pacifist, favoring diplomacy over militaristic interventions. However, Japan, being a significant stakeholder in global stability with a strong alliance with many European countries, keeps a keen eye on such moves. It's especially given Japanese legal restrictions on engaging in warfare overseas imposed by Article 9 of the post-World War II constitution.

Contrary to the European move, the U.S has been moving towards reducing its direct military presence overseas, often preferring diplomatic or economic interventions over outright military presence. In contrast, the EU's latest move to bolster its military might comes in the face of increasing tensions with Russia.
