The Ankara Dilemma_ NATO at the Crossroads
About this episode
The episode discusses the complexities of NATO's relationship with Turkey, particularly in light of the upcoming 2026 NATO Summit in Ankara.
The 2026 NATO Summit in Ankara was supposed to be a shining display of alliance unity, but behind the closed doors and the polished press releases, it exposed a much deeper, more complex reality. At the heart of the conversation is what experts are calling the Turkey Paradox. On one hand, Turkey is an indispensable anchor for NATO, boasting the alliance’s second-largest army and controlling vital geography like the Black Sea. Yet, on the other hand, Ankara remains a constant source of friction, frequently charting its own foreign policy course that often clashes with the consensus of its Western partners. This tension was the backdrop for the introduction of NATO 3.0, a new strategic vision aimed at shifting the burden of defense onto European shoulders. With the United States increasingly pivoting its focus toward other global priorities, Washington put the pressure on.
