NATO

This year’s NATO summit takes place at a moment of flux for both sides of the alliance’s political-military equation.

With a consolidation of competing alliance blocs, the world is entering a perilous time. It may only get worse.

Yesterday marked 75 years since NATO’s founding, notable not only as a mark of longevity but also because, unlike most of the years of NATO’s existence, the alliance is immersed in war. That makes NATO as relevant as ever. But does “relevant” necessarily mean “valuable”? Put simply, is NATO still worth it?
