Defence and Deterrence of NATO

NATO’s defence and deterrence involve collective security, meaning member countries agree that an attack on one is an attack on all, which helps prevent conflicts by making potential aggressors think twice. It combines military readiness, shared intelligence, and strategic planning to address threats. The goal is to discourage any attack through strength and unity, ensuring stability and peace for member nations. Essentially, NATO’s posture relies on both maintaining capable defenses and projecting a united front that deters adversaries from attempting aggression.
