Any military alliance that lasts 75 years and still has a queue of countries wanting to join it deserves a celebration. That’s precisely what the leaders of the member-states of Nato, the US-led military alliance in Europe, are doing this week in Washington as they gather for their anniversary summit.
They will meet in the Mellon Auditorium – the neoclassical building not far from the White House – at the precise spot where and at the exact time when the alliance’s founding charter was signed just a few years after World War II. There will be plenty of ringing speeches, backslapping and the clinking of champagne glasses.
