Transatlantic Order: The Map Tore, Europe Must Lead

Power, deterrence, and democratic resilience across the Atlantic bridge

Why the Transatlantic Order Matters Now 

The story of 2025 is a rupture. Washington courts autocrats, treats allies as bargaining chips, and turns security into spectacle. Europe wakes up to a cold truth. The old certainties are gone. NATO meets and speaks, yet deterrence now rests on European will, European capacity, and European choices.

This hub tracks the pattern, not just the headlines. We follow three connected shifts. First, the hollowing of alliances, where mutual defense becomes conditional and credibility frays. Second, the moral collapse that turns Gaza into a development fantasy and teaches the world that rights are negotiable. Third, the war of endurance in Ukraine, where industrial output, air defense, and rule of law will decide whether a democracy survives on Europe's frontier.

Our perspective is unapologetically European and transatlantic. We chart how choices in Washington ripple through Ottawa, Kyiv, Copenhagen, Tallinn, and Brussels, and how those waves reshape security, energy, finance, and public trust. When the western anchor drifts, the whole bridge sways. Read the deep dives, follow the dispatches, and share the work. Democracy is defended by informed citizens who refuse silence.
