Shifting Global Security: NATO's Evolving Role
NATO, a group of countries for defense, is changing.
It started to protect against the Soviet Union, but now faces new challenges.
Some countries are worried that the US, a major member, might not always help them.
So, countries are spending more on their own defenses.
The world's security is changing, and countries like India need to be prepared and work with different nations while also being self-reliant.
NATO's role and purpose have evolved since the end of the Cold War.
Increased defense spending is being discussed, with a focus on 5% of GDP by 2035.
US has shown some indifference towards Ukraine and some sympathy for Russia's position.
Various countries are re-arming themselves, worried about the reliability of US commitment.
India is advised to become more self-reliant while partnering with different nations.
