A more aggressive Russia and an increasingly unstable Middle East made the mantra of collective defense for the first time since the Cold War seem to be, perhaps, not enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, U.S. President Donald Trump continued to pound a fist about the need for allies to contribute their fair share, to not rely so heavily on the United States for their own national security and to not necessarily expect the U.S. to come running if the threat of conflict grows imminent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/outlook\/\" target=_blank><b>Click here to read contributions to our Outlook series from defense leaders from around the world<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For all of those reasons, we enter 2019 with what seems to be a more emboldened NATO \u2014 or shall I say, more emboldened allies. Individual countries are investing more in defense, less to appease the United States and more to close their own gaps in domestic security. There\u2019s heightened effort to secure borders, to counter domestic terrorism and to invest in missile defense to deter regional adversaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such investments signal an evolving view on NATO, from a security blanket of sorts, particularly for smaller member states, to an alliance that derives its strength from the sum of its parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if one believes that criticism from the White House drove NATO allies to invest more, such motivation has since been displaced by what seems to be a sense of individual responsibility. In fact, a less coddling United States just might have inspired countries to recognize they have strength and they have a say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll see hints of the more emboldened NATO allies in this year\u2019s Outlook, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/outlook\/\" target=_blank>with essays from defense ministers from around the world <\/a>speaking less about what NATO can do for their countries, and more about what their countries can do for NATO. From U.S. officials, you\u2019ll get a sense that it\u2019s time to focus more on our own priorities and strategies and less on messaging to or demands of allies. You\u2019ll even see out of Russia an argument for the strength of President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might say, following the heightened tensions of 2018, that nations are getting their houses in order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this year&#8217;s Outlook, you\u2019ll see hints of the more emboldened NATO allies, with essays from
