The 75th anniversary of North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) created new arguments on the relevance and future scope of NATO, in both its geographical coverage and its ideological standing. The world’s oldest military pact remains the biggest, and continues to provide the reach of security assurances and deterrence which have drawn the scrambling of other Asian powers to also be a part of the security net.
Sweden and Finland broke from their conventional neutrality affiliations to join NATO, sending a clear message that when push comes to shove and in the areas of national interests and survival, security trumps all other considerations.
From the summit in Washington this month, the US under the Biden administration tried to reinject new dynamism of strength and hope, where Washington pledged to deploy longer range missiles in Germany in 2026, being the most potent U.S. weapons to be based on the European continent since the Cold War.
