NATO’s Powerlessness Over Syria and Refugees

One of the persistent weaknesses of NATO has been a lack of a shared threat perception among members of the alliance. The terrorist attacks in Paris on November 13, in which 130 people were killed, should have finally put paid to that. They haven’t.
NATO is unwilling to become involved as an alliance in fighting the so-called Islamic State, and with good reasons: fears of being dragged into a prolonged conflict, fears of retaliation by the Islamic State in other European countries, and no clear postmilitary goal.http://carnegieeurope.eu/strategiceurope/?fa=62099&mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRonvKXNZKXonjHpfsX57uQsW6Sg38431UFwdcjKPmjr1YIGRcR0aPyQAgobGp5I5FEIQ7XYTLB2t60MWA%3D%3D
