Not Your Grandfather's NATO: Restoring the Alliance The Heritage Foundation 17 Jul 2024 Throughout the Cold War, NATO proved itself to be among the most successful alliances in history, deterring the Soviet Union and preventing an attack on its member states. Most NATO members then fielded larger and more capable militaries than they do now – militaries that were built up through decades of sustained investment by individual member states. After the end of the Cold War, too many NATO member states thought that it was “the end of history,” and defense spending took a 30-year hiatus, only really resuming in earnest following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Now, some member states have stood up in a big way, hitting their spending goals and contributing substantially to the collective defense of the alliance. Other member states continue to lag behind, preferring to rely on American defense guarantees than provide for their own defense. This has to stop. America’s European allies must take primary responsibility for security on the European continent through sustained increases in defense spending. Learn more as experts Elbridge Colby, Wilson Beaver, Nile Gardiner, and Robert Greenway discuss how we can reverse decades of decline and restore NATO.

Remarks by President Biden Before Working Session I of the NATO Summit, by Nine O’Clock THE PRESIDENT: Secretary-General, Allies, friends. Seventy-five years ago, when our nations created the Alliance, President Truman said, quote, “We hope to create a shield against aggression, the fear of aggression,” and to “permit us to get on with the real business” of creating “government and society.” For 75 years, our nations have grown and prospered behind the NATO shield. Today, we’re stronger than we’ve ever been. Since, I took office, we’ve doubled the number of battle groups at NATO’s eastern flank in — the United States has; Finland and Sweden have joined the Alliance; and the number of Allies spending at least 2 percent on defense has gone from 9 to 23. That’s not happened by chance but by choice. At our summit two years ago, we launched a plan to modernize our deterrence and our defense. And today, we have to ask ourselves: What is next? How can we keep making the shield stronger? One answer must be to strengthen our industrial base. US Embassy Bucharest, Romania https://lnkd.in/d-BvfxEb
