Opinion: Nato summit: How a fractured alliance is fuelling a permanent war economy

The Nato summit in Ankara highlighted deep-seated fractures within the alliance, exacerbated by ongoing conflicts like the war between the US and Israel against Iran and the Ukraine crisis. These divisions risk transforming NATO's purpose, fostering a perpetual war economy at the expense of diplomatic solutions. The summit's inability to address these rifts underscores a broader transatlantic discord, potentially reshaping global defense strategies and international relations. This situation is crucial as it may signal a shift towards militarization over diplomacy in international affairs.
