NATO members debate the alliance's future and Europe's role within it

There is a public debate about the future of NATO, with some voices in Europe questioning its structure. One opinion piece argues that Europe needs to leave NATO to achieve true independence, while other reports highlight internal dynamics, like Turkey celebrating its long membership and Germany being credited with helping the alliance. At the same time, a poll shows that people in some key member countries are reluctant to support increased military spending, and there are discussions about whether NATO is evolving into a more European-led project.
