The Impact of Changing US Foreign Policy on Global Security
Changing US foreign policy to reduce involvement in collective security agreements like NATO could lead to a shift where America becomes more self-reliant on military defense, similar to Switzerland or Israel. This shift may result in emboldening autocrats and increasing the need for mandatory military service. While advocating for Europe to take a leading role in NATO and Ukraine resistance, it is crucial to consider the potential consequences, including a chaotic withdrawal similar to Afghanistan. Supporting Ukraine is seen as a deterrent to prevent Putin from further aggression in Eastern Europe, particularly towards countries like Estonia to prevent a potential nuclear arms race.
