Was The NATO Summit Just Optics? Former NATO Official Calls Out Lack of Strategy | GNT
Was the NATO summit a true show of strength or just political theatre?Dr. Stefanie Babst, Former Deputy Assistant Secretary General of NATO, offers a blunt assessment in this GNT episode with Tom Burges Watson. She argues that while allies and NATO leadership labeled the summit a success, it lacked real strategic substance.
“It was more about showing off than actual cohesion,” she says on NATO unity.
“Anyone listening to President Trump in the past 100 days knows there’s no such thing as strong, full-fledged unity,” she adds.
On Russia and Ukraine, she says: “The summit avoided key questions, how to deter Russia and ensure it never gets Ukraine.”
And on defense spending, she says: “The 5% pledge is a non-binding declaration of intent. Many countries will continue to struggle to meet it.”
