Its 31 member states account for over half of global military spending, manpower of over a billion people, and three nuclear-armed powers – it is the longest lasting, and arguably most powerful, alliance in the world.
But recent geopolitical turmoil has stretched its resources. For years, many NATO members were falling short of the 2% of GDP military spending target outlined by the alliance, and the ongoing conflicts of Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Palestine have depleted stockpiles further. This situation must change, and soon.
