WNU Editor: A thoughtful assessment/analysis on the current U.S.-EU-NATO relationship. As to what is my take. NATO was always a political-military instrument, and it has had many up and down moments throughout its history.

Update: I know the person who is behind this new website .... Foreign Relations. He is also someone that I highly recommend. Over the past few years I have noticed that he has an insight in European trends that are a year or two ahead of the foreign policy experts. So bookmark his site. You will not be disappointed.
