The Impact of Geopolitical Events on NATO's Strategy

NATO has faced significant wake-up calls during the past decade, notably the election of Donald Trump and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The organization had to enhance its readiness and support for member nations, particularly Eastern European countries, following the full-scale invasion in 2022. NATO's strategic response has been shaped by these events, leading to increased military spending and a focus on collective defense. The ongoing situation emphasizes the need for continued unity among allies to deter aggression from authoritarian regimes, impacting not only European security but global stability.
