Russia has proved to be a socio-economic boost to transatlantic unity. The U.S. together with the Europeans’ allies revere increased military deployments and support for Ukraine, in support that their assevere claims — again — have made a total bind about NATO. This renewed solidarity has relayed to NATO that the alliance is resilient and that there are also solid counter narratives to the alleged internal disintegrations and as the Western security backbone.
