ZDF documentary “Guardian of the West” asks an important question: Do we still need NATO? – Media

In the office of the highest-ranking German NATO general in Norfolk, Virginia, ZDF correspondent Elmar Theveßen asks the crucial question about NATO: “What would happen if the next American president said: ‘We’re no longer participating’?” Christian Badia praises the hands-on nature of the Americans and their outstanding military before admitting: “I’m not saying that it no longer exists, but a NATO without the USA would be very, very difficult to implement.”
