Zelenskyy and the Future of NATO
By Steve McCann
Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s childish histrionics and ultimatums in the Oval Office directed at President Trump’s efforts to bring an end to the most devastating war on the continent of Europe since World War II are reflective of the European delusional mindset of self-serving expectations and perceived American obligations stemming from a one-sided seventy-five-year alliance -- the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A treaty that evolved into the United States effectively taking upon itself the unappreciated role of military protector of nearly half of the European continent.
The major purpose of NATO was to deter an aggressive and despotic Soviet Union from attacking Western Europe and by extension the United States. That possibility ended in 1991 with the collapse and breakup of the Soviet Union. History has shown that once the stated purpose of a military alliance no longer exists that alliance must be disbanded, or it will assume other purposes that inevitably leads to conflicts.
The ruling classes in the United States and Western Europe, regardless of changing circumstances in Europe and incapable of restraining their infatuation with Euro-socialism, decided to avoid gradually turning over the defense of Europe to the Europeans. Instead, they opted to expand and redefine NATO while the United States would continue to provide virtually the entirety of the military umbrella protecting the continent.
