The New Axis of Evil Sets Sail: Why NATO Must Boost Its Defense Now!

Joint drills by Russia, China, and Iran underline calls for greater NATO spending. With Trump rethinking intel bans for Ukraine, the stakes have never been higher in this global power struggle.

An unholy alliance of Russia, China, and Iran—the so-called “new axis of evil”—is once again testing Western resolve, this time with joint naval drills in the Gulf of Oman. As global tensions mount and authoritarian regimes grow bolder, NATO nations face a stark choice: dramatically increase defense spending or risk being outmaneuvered. Meanwhile, signs are emerging that Donald Trump may lift certain bans on intelligence sharing with Ukraine, adding a fresh dimension to America’s role in this volatile standoff. At stake is more than just Ukraine’s future—it’s the security of the entire Euro-Atlantic community.
