Episode 3: The Price of Peace

In this episode we examine the contours of the burden-sharing debate within the alliance, what major decisions came out of the Washington summit, and what lies ahead.

There has been much debate over defense spending, investment, and who is sharing the burden of European defense among NATO allies for years. Russia’s full scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 has served as a grim and stark reminder of European defense investment shortcomings and vulnerabilities.

It has been a few months since NATO allies met in Washington to commemorate the alliance’s 75th anniversary.  In this episode we are joined by Ambassador Doug Lute, Colonel Jordan Becker, and German defense expert Aylin Matle to examine the contours of the burden-sharing debate within the alliance, what major decisions came out of the Washington summit, and what lies ahead.
