The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) could face
dissolution in its current form due to growing disagreements
between the United States and its European allies over support for
Ukraine, former Supreme Allied Commander Europe, Admiral James
Stavridis, has warned.
According to Azernews, citing The Daily
Telegraph, Stavridis suggested that NATO might be replaced by a
“European Treaty Organization”, as European nations take on a
larger role in defense.
“We may be witnessing the end of NATO and the beginning of what
could be called the European Treaty Organization,” Stavridis
stated.
He noted that former US President Donald Trump has made it clear
that the US does not wish to continue military assistance to
Ukraine, calling this stance an “epic geopolitical mistake.”
Stavridis emphasized that European nations must now take the lead
in supporting Kyiv.
Furthermore, he pointed out that Washington’s pressure on
European allies to increase defense spending is straining trust
within NATO and could weaken the foundation of the alliance.
