The true nature of NATO being exposed

Posted: 29th June 2025

“The situation is exposing in the most brutal way that Nato has always been a vehicle for US power, just at the time when the US is at its most belligerent and unpopular around the world.

“The response of the European leaders, led initially by Sir Keir Starmer, has been to scramble to rearm across the continent. The claim is that this is for security purposes and to assert military independence. In reality, the European leaders are doing exactly what Trump wants. And they are doing it to try to signal their continued relevance, to show Trump and the US ruling class that Nato still has clout and that they will be useful partners in whatever the wounded superpower does next to try to maintain its dominance in the world.”
