Redi Tlhabi discusses NATO’s role and relevance in today’s conflicts with historian Vijay Prashad.
US President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticised NATO, casting doubt on the alliance’s role in a shifting global order.
NATO has suffered major setbacks in recent years, from its inability to prevent Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to the end of a 20-year war in Afghanistan that saw the Taliban return to power.
So, is NATO still relevant? Could it even stand a chance against any sort of confrontation with China?
In this UpFront web extra, Redi Tlhabi sits down with historian and journalist Vijay Prashad to unpack these pressing issues.
