Trump's done us a favour! The harsh 'kick up the backside' that saved Nato | Chip Chapman

As the dust settles on the latest NATO summit, the geopolitical map has fundamentally shifted. While Donald Trump’s transactionalist approach and the December 2025 US National Security Strategy have made it clear that Europe is a "distant third" priority for Washington, Europe and Canada are finally standing on their own two feet - committing to massive defence industrial expansion. In this exclusive interview, we break down why Ukraine emerged as the ultimate winner of the summit, securing 70 billion euros in funding for 2026 and 2027 alongside licenses to build Patriot missiles. Meanwhile, the Kremlin faces a devastating reality. We analyse Vladimir Putin's limited escalation options, the "seven deadly biases" trapping Western intelligence, and the three distinct internal pillars that could ultimately collapse Putin's grip on power. Are we looking at a completely decoupled US-Europe alliance, or has NATO just become stronger than ever? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
