Is NATO Breaking Up?
December 5, 2025
European NATO allies have called a NATO Emergency Summit to discuss NATO’s continued existence and whether the US key partner could still be trusted.
Every American signal of US withdrawal brings Russia closer to her target – defeating NATO, not with bullets but with time. This is being recognized gradually by European “leaders”, NATO members which today – 1 December 2025 — came to a climax that called this Emergency NATO Summit in Brussels.
Alliances are not marriages. They can and do gradually fall apart. This seems to be the case NOW. It is no longer a question whether NATO will follow its Washington leadership – or break apart – or continue as a European alliance. The latter is unlikely as European-NATO leadership is today divided to the point where no long term strategy can be expected to lead a NATO military force, let alone bring together a unified budget for a military force – which calls itself a defense force, but in reality, is and has been since 1991 an aggressor, an international war machine.
Professor John J. Mearsheimer explains in detail the challenges faced by NATO, its European leaders and the likelihood that NATO may break apart.
