This is apropos a letter to the Editor titled “NATO distances itself from Trump’s Iran strategy” carried by the newspaper on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and yesterday.
In drawing its line, NATO has effectively reminded the world of a principle that has been tested, stretched, and sometimes broken over the past three decades: that the internal destiny of a nation should, in the final analysis, be determined by its own people. Whether this principle will hold in the face of mounting pressures, rivalries, and fears is an open question.
For now, the moment stands as a rare instance where the transatlantic alliance and Washington part ways on the threshold of war. It underscores a shifting global landscape, one in which power is contested, norms are debated, and the legitimacy of intervention is no longer taken for granted.
