For such an important occasion as the th anniversary celebration , the NATO summit on the outskirts of London has been rather low-key. Deliberately discreet. Not in vain, it was about preventing the prevailing rarefied atmosphere from ending up spoiling the party. The usual final statement was waived so as not to reveal the fight. Since Trump , a grade five hurricane, burst into the Atlantic space, the Western Alliance has been in full turbulence. As a candidate he declared that NATO was “obsolete”, and once installed in the White House he has not stopped reproaching his European partners for digging into their pockets to contribute more to the common defense.
Since the last scuffle, the hotel president had been more restrained, mainly due to the fact that, in , the Germans will increase their contribution by million and the French by another Iraq Telegram Number Data million, the United States bill will reduce by million. The Turk, Erdogan , has not refrained from sowing discord in recent months. He has imposed his agenda in Syria and has approached Moscow with more than words by acquiring the Russian S- anti-missile system, much to the dismay of his formal allies. Macron's words were clear, without diplomatic cotton, too direct for a club accustomed to highlighting the positive, praising the decades of peace, enlarging its strengths and hiding its weaknesses.
MACRON SHAKES THE HORNET'S NEST But what has shaken the Atlantic waters the most has been the thunderstorm of the French president, at the beginning of November. In statements to the British weekly THE ECONOMIST (), Macron stated that NATO was “in a state of brain death” and clearly established the factors of the crisis: North American distancing from Europe (before Trump: Obama already showed signs of interest much more in other areas, particularly in Asia ); lack of strategic thinking from Europe; general confusion about Alliance priorities ; and unacceptable unilateral actions, such as the aforementioned by Erdogan.
