Seeing NATO hit its 75th anniversary amidst the chaos in Ukraine really brings to light the complex role such alliances play in modern geopolitics. On one hand, the principle of collective defense has historically been a deterrent against aggressive expansionism, theoretically preserving peace and freedom. Yet, the libertarian in me can't help but question the escalating entanglements and how they align with the ideals of individual liberty and non-interventionism. The idea of pouring potentially 100 billion euros into Ukraine as part of long-term aid, while noble in its intentions of supporting democracy, raises concerns about the financial burdens and moral implications for the member states. It's a delicate balance between ensuring national security and avoiding the pitfalls of becoming too embroiled in foreign conflicts, a balance that's becoming increasingly difficult to maintain.
