NATO is dead. It died on March 24, 1999 when the Serbian bombing campaign started. Serbia was not attacking or even threatening any NATO signatory. The alliance, despite attempts to expand, has been in its death throes ever since.

The "successor" to NATO will include the five Anglosphere nations only, if the US stays together and can manage it.

[Navy Patriot]

While you are correct that NATO is dead, it is dead ethically, morally and for the legitimate purpose of balancing the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the Warsaw Pact Treaty States.

It is very much alive in military and materiel support of selected Islamic radical states and groups for the glory of the Caliphate.

Putin is invigorating NATO, and it may grow larger with Sweden and Finland.
