NATO must turn its attention to terrorism as the number one
threat, and not turn a blind eye to the psychological impact
that ongoing attacks are having on the citizens of its member
countries. It’s ironic that this would still be a debate, since the
London Bridge attack, at the time of the recent London NATO
meeting, should have made the urgency painstakingly clear.
NATO was originally formed to defend its members from
Russian aggression, and some countries are still in denial as
to the more imminent and dangerous threat of terrorism.
There are four reasons why it's a challenge to get NATO
leaders to unite in switching their attention and resources
to terror. First of all, though they agree that ISIS and Al
Qaeda are terrorists, the definition gets more controversial
when it comes to other groups.
Secondly, differences in how countries are trying to cope with
the overwhelming issue of runaway citizens who left to fight
in the Middle East and now want to return, also make it hard
for them to agree. Hear the two other reasons that make it
challenging for NATO to present a united front. And hear
about the psychological symptoms the witnesses to
European terror attacks are suffering from, while NATO
drags its feet.
