What Happened at the NATO Summit? | The Capital Cable #97 Center for Strategic & International Studies 11 JULY 2024 The Capital Cable For this episode of the Capital Cable, we are joined by Mr. Max Bergmann of the CSIS Europe, Russia and Eurasia Program to discuss the 2024 NATO Summit in Washington D.C., the 75th anniversary of the alliance, and the security challenges facing NATO, including the ongoing war in Ukraine. 

#NATO is expanding its membership… without its member states making the *necessary* investments to *adequately* expand their capacity for mutual defense & deterrence. Moreover, they demand “victory” in Ukraine without first making sure Ukraine has the capacity to defeat Russia & without seriously preparing to deter &/or defeat further Axis aggression. It doesn’t make sense. The newest member state, #Sweden, is expected to meet NATO’s arbitrary (& unreasonably low) 2.0% target for defense spending (as a % of GDP) by **2028**. In other words, getting to 2% was not a requirement for membership. #Europe’s chronic complacency is beyond alarming & puts the entire transatlantic alliance & the fate of the entire free world at risk. They are unraveling fast & think they can have security by spending 2% of stagnant/shrinking GDPs on #defense while repeating many of the mistakes that led to the last 2 world wars. In reality, an easily imaginable war on the scale of WWI or WWII would likely force European NATO member states to spend upwards of 40% of GDP on defense with no guarantee of victory or even survival. And that’s *IF* the USA is able to overcome deep domestic divisions & step up as in prior world wars despite unprecedented shortfalls in weapons/munitions production & logistics capacity. IMO, America needs Allies with similar values & compatible political/economic systems… not collectivist protectorates intent on expanding their bureaucracies & mirroring the techniques of tyranny employed by the Axis administrative states. If NATO is to survive this war, the other member states — whose leaders have uniformly shown they are willing to dismantle their own economies in the name of socialism & climate action — must do *dramatically* more for themselves.
