The Future of NATO
An Outlook on the Alliance’s Strengths and Weaknesses ahead of its 75th Anniversary
Two years after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022, the war in Europe rages on. The threat on European soil has sparked new investments in NATO through new accessions to the alliance and additional investments from existing members throughout Europe. While the Biden administration has remained adamant in its ongoing commitment to both Ukraine and the alliance, the United States has seen decreased support for NATO in conservative isolationist circles. As NATO prepares for its 75th Anniversary Summit in Washington, DC this summer, we hold a panel discussion on the future of the alliance.
