The Coalition of the Willing

The podcast discusses the formation of a 'coalition of the willing' among European nations to address the situation in Ukraine, as NATO's consensus-based decision-making poses challenges. Countries like Slovakia and Hungary are reportedly resistant to enforcing measures against Russia, necessitating an alternate alliance among those willing to act. Britain and France emerge as pivotal players, being the most militarily capable nations, while other countries like Germany and Spain exhibit hesitance to participate actively. The effectiveness of this coalition hinges on determining who will stand in solidarity with Ukraine and which nations will refrain from supporting military efforts due to their own national priorities.
