Andrei Martyanov: NATO is being demilitarized

A stark analysis of global power shifts: NATO dismissed as a "paper tiger," Europe's decline irreversible, and U.S. leadership deemed hollow. The conflict in Ukraine is framed as a decisive Russian stand for security, with Western efforts seen as futile. Insights on Azerbaijan, Iran, and Armenia highlight evolving regional dynamics, while Trump's role is criticized as uninformed showmanship. Real strategy, it's argued, lies elsewhere.
