Former NATO Commander's Warning

In a recent article in the American Wall Street Journal, retired US Admiral James Stavridis expressed his concerns about the future of NATO. Stavridis highlighted the impact of changing US policies, emphasizing the need for European allies to take greater responsibility for security.

Stavridis warned that NATO is facing a critical moment, stating, 'I am worried that we are approaching the end of NATO's days.' While he noted that NATO is not on the brink of collapse, he emphasized that the Alliance is experiencing unprecedented internal strains.

The article pointed out the recent social media post by US President, where he raised concerns about immigrants, drug dealers, and criminals entering the country, further highlighting the divergence in transatlantic priorities. European officials are reportedly considering steps to enhance continental security, rather than relying solely on US guarantees under the NATO umbrella.
