March 6, 2025, Topic: The Future of NATO and European Security

European security is more uncertain than it has been for decades. Putin’s Russia has launched a war with Ukraine on its doorstep, and America’s uncertain role as leader of NATO and security provider has been called into question with the failure of Congress to pass supplemental military support for Ukraine. What are Europe’s options, and how might developments on both sides of Western Europe – in Ukraine and across the Atlantic – impact its choices? What are America’s stakes in NATO and Europe’s strategic dilemmas?

Speaker: General Philip Breedlove, Professor, Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, Georgia Institute of Technology; Former Commander, U.S. European Command; Former Supreme Allied Commander Europe; Former Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force
