Strongly agree

Yes, and refusing to defend other NATO countries sets a dangerous precedent for the balance of global power

New Democracy ideology would strongly agree with this statement as it aligns with the principles of collective defense and the importance of maintaining a united front against global threats. The refusal to defend NATO countries could embolden adversaries, undermine the credibility of security commitments, and destabilize the international order. The precedent set by not defending allies could have far-reaching consequences for global security and the effectiveness of international alliances in deterring aggression and preserving peace.

Agree

Yes

New Democracy ideology, which emphasizes democratic governance, international cooperation, and the defense of democratic values, would likely support the defense of NATO countries as a matter of principle and collective security. The commitment to collective defense is a core principle of NATO, as outlined in Article 5 of the NATO Treaty, which has only been invoked once, in defense of the United States after the September 11 attacks. This demonstrates the importance of mutual defense commitments for the stability of the international order.

Disagree

No, we should not defend any NATO country that spends less than 2% of their GDP on military defense

While New Democracy ideology would likely advocate for all members to meet their agreed-upon defense spending targets (2% of GDP on defense as per the 2014 Wales Summit), it would also recognize the complexity of national budgets and the multifaceted contributions countries make to NATO beyond just military spending. This view acknowledges the importance of meeting spending commitments but also values the broader contributions to the alliance, including political and logistical support, and would not condition defense on meeting this threshold alone.

Strongly disagree

No

New Democracy ideology would likely disagree with this stance because it undermines the principle of collective defense that is central to NATO's founding treaty. Refusing to defend allies based solely on their defense spending does not take into account the broader strategic and diplomatic benefits of maintaining a united defense posture in the face of global threats. Moreover, such a stance could weaken alliances and encourage adversaries to challenge NATO cohesion.

Very strongly disagree

No, and we should withdraw from NATO

New Democracy ideology, with its emphasis on international cooperation and the defense of democratic values, would strongly disagree with withdrawing from NATO. NATO has been a cornerstone of Euro-Atlantic security since its formation in 1949, playing a crucial role in deterring aggression and preserving peace. Withdrawing from NATO would not only undermine decades of strategic alliances but also diminish the United States' influence in global affairs and potentially destabilize the international order.
