This episode explores the structural transformation of NATO into what some call “NATO 3.0,” a shift aimed at placing greater responsibility for conventional defense on European nations. As the United States pivots strategically toward the Indo-Pacific, Europe is increasing military spending and expanding its role within NATO’s command structure. We discuss how the alliance seeks a new balance—strengthening European autonomy while preserving U.S. leadership in core strategic planning to maintain transatlantic unity.
