NATO Is Now Dead
Story by Andrew Latham• 1d
Key Points - NATO, in its current form, is depicted as a "corpse," its strategic effectiveness undermined by decades of European defense underfunding ("free-riding") and US strategic overstretch.
-Most member states fail to meet spending commitments, rendering the alliance a hollow shell, a reality starkly exposed by the war in Ukraine where the US carries the primary burden.
-President Trump's approach is seen not as the cause of NATO's decline but as a catalyst for a necessary reckoning, forcing Europe to confront its defense responsibilities.
-A fundamental reset towards a European-led security framework, with US support rather than dominance, is essential for future relevance.
The Fall of NATO
NATO is a corpse. All that remains is the grotesque performance art of a diplomatic zombie stumbling from summit to summit, mouthing tired clichés about “shared values” and “burden sharing,” even as its core strategic logic lies rotting beneath the surface. The Atlantic Alliance, once the steel scaffolding of Western security, has become a hollow ritual. Its military readiness is an illusion. Its political cohesion is fraying. Its future, if it has one, lies not in revival—but in reinvention or replacement.

If correct, America should be very concerned.
How will America face a Russian dominated Europe and a China dominated far east?
Hmm, I think Europe and the UK should be a lot more worried than the USA.
NATO is corrupt as Hell !

they are worried, worried about having to find the means to pay for a realistic defence budget, worried that if putin decides to go for europe whether America will help.
4 major power theatres-spheres of power are manifesting, in descending order.
North America, mostly the USA
Asia, mostly China
Europe includes UK and Russia
Middle East
Only China and US command global power today as superpowers.
Yeah, I don't know. But the regular everyday people here in the US are not too interested in European politics and affairs.
For decades we in the US have carried the burden of the free world interests of other countries, and tired of it.
Foreign entanglements are like binding bonds tied up with ropes. That is how world wars grow.
I am not even sure we would go to any kind of war with China if they invaded Taiwan.
Since NATO is obsolete, it needs to be abandoned and reworked. You do know the US today is even more so looking out for it's own interests.
It was good to get the UK into a major trade deal, the US has more of an interest there than in European continent.
I also think world war is never going to happen again. Just regional wars.
