After more than seven decades as the foundation of Western security, NATO is once again under pressure — but this time, the dynamics appear different. From debates in Washington to hesitation among European allies during recent tensions in the Middle East, questions are emerging about burden-sharing, strategic priorities, and the future of the alliance itself. In this episode, we revisit key moments in NATO’s history — from the Berlin Airlift to internal crises during the Cold War and beyond — and connect them to today’s developments. By placing current events in historical context, we explore whether NATO is facing another temporary challenge, or a deeper structural shift.
