About this listen
A bold new pledge to spend 5% of GDP on defence has shaken the foundations of NATO—and raised urgent questions about the alliance’s future. Held in The Hague, the 2025 NATO Summit was supposed to be a show of unity. Instead, it revealed deep divisions, uneasy diplomacy, and a race to rearm in an increasingly unstable world.
We break down:
💰 The origins and politics of the 5% defence spending target
🇪🇸 Why Spain pushed back—and how Trump responded
🛡️ The reaffirmation of Article 5 and what it really means today
📉 Fears about U.S. reliability and Europe's search for alternatives
🛰️ NATO’s pivot to cyber, hybrid warfare, and industrial readiness
🌍 What this summit tells us about the shifting balance of global power
This isn’t just a defence summit. It’s a stress test for the world’s most powerful military alliance—and a preview of the conflicts and alliances that may define the coming decade.
