The fear of Russia has long been a unifying force for the western alliance. However, recent events have shown that this fear could also be the very thing that tears it apart. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was established in 1949 as a defense against Moscow, but if the Trump administration pursues a peace plan that favors Russia in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, it could jeopardize the unity of the alliance.

Throughout history, the US and its European allies have faced disagreements, but there was always a shared understanding that they were ultimately on the same side. The foundation of the US-European partnership was built on shared interests and values, particularly during the cold war era when the common goal was to contain the Soviet threat and defend democracy.

However, this shared understanding is now under threat. The US and Europe have put forward different peace plans for Ukraine, with the Europeans rejecting key elements of the Trump administration’s proposal, including the recognition of Russia’s annexation of Crimea. This divide reflects deeper differences in their views on international security and the looming threat of conflict.

The Trump administration’s approach to security is driven by a concern of being dragged into a direct conflict with Russia, while Europe fears that appeasing Russian aggression in Ukraine could embolden Putin to target other European nations. The divergence in security visions extends beyond Ukraine, with Trump making provocative statements about incorporating Greenland and Canada into the US, further straining relations with NATO allies.

The clash in values between the US and Europe has become more pronounced, with accusations of suppressing free speech and undermining democracy being thrown from both sides. The Trump administration’s embrace of ethno-nationalism and illiberalism contrasts sharply with Europe’s commitment to internationalism and liberal institutions.

This rift in values has put the transatlantic alliance at a crossroads. The alliance, once a bipartisan commitment that could withstand political changes, now relies on shared values and trust. With the US electing Trump twice, European allies can no longer take American steadfastness for granted.

The future of the western alliance hinges on the ability of both sides to bridge their differences and find common ground. While the alliance may only thrive under like-minded leadership on both sides of the Atlantic, there are growing doubts about its sustainability in the face of diverging values and interests.
