NATO, founded in 1949, is a military and political alliance of 32 member states committed to collective defense under Article 5—an attack on one is treated as an attack on all. The alliance's future has come into question amid U.S. political uncertainty about its value, European defense spending debates, and geopolitical tensions including Russia's invasion of Ukraine and conflicts in the Middle East. Whether NATO survives in its current form depends on sustained U.S. commitment, burden-sharing among members, and the alliance's ability to adapt to emerging security threats.
