NATO Could Effectively Die This June Trump's negotiations and German elections may augur the end of collective security as we've known it. Matt Welch \| 2.28.2025 12:04 PM "[The] transatlantic relationship," former NATO secretary-general ( 2009-2014) Anders Fogh Rasmussen wrote in The Economist this week, "is crumbling before our eyes….After 80 years of American-backed security, we Europeans must now shoulder the burden of securing peace on our own continent." That realization has come three years—and three decades—too late. Like domestic neoconservatives who didn't understand why we couldn't just keep troops in Iraq until the 22nd century, European policymakers have long acted as if American money, weaponry, and public sentiment would never run out. This has allowed them to spend less money on defense, and more time criticizing Washington leadership from the sidelines. Reason The risk is that the European states continue to be war-mongers independent of the US instead of acting to wage war in conjunction with the US. They see the writing on the wall. They've been involved in at least 4 wars for oil in the last 25 years.
