Italy, Spain, Netherlands: Their Role in the New US Strategy (NSS 2025) – Hubs, Bridges & Technology 💡
The NSS 2025 redefines the roles of European allies. In this video, we analyze how American Strategy perceives Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands, even though they are not explicitly named. Each country embodies a critical node in the new American power spectrum: Migration and the Mediterranean, Atlantic and Latin American connections, Technological Supremacy, and Microchips.
🔎 Role Analysis by Country
Italy: The Mediterranean Manager Rome represents the state managing the demographic and migratory burden of Southern Europe. Washington views Italy as crucial for NATO cohesion, evaluating it not for hard power projection, but for its ability to "keep the Mediterranean calm" and act as a stable frontier with North Africa.
Spain: The Bridge to the Atlantic and the Hispanic World Spain is a strategic point for Atlantic maritime routes and a gateway to Latin America. The Spanish geopolitical footprint aligns with the American pursuit of a "free and secure Atlantic" and the need to deter Chinese expansion in the Western Hemisphere through ports and infrastructure.
Netherlands: The Technological Pillar of the West The Hague embodies the European technological paradox. The existence of companies like ASML (lithography/microchips) makes it absolutely indispensable to the American effort to contain China's technological rise (the "Chip War"). Washington evaluates the Netherlands almost exclusively in terms of technology and power, highlighting its high strategic value.
⚠️ Conclusion: Realpolitik & "Functional Roles"
The NSS 2025 does not view allies as a monolithic bloc; instead, it assigns them different uses based on realism. Not all countries carry the same weight, but they constitute critical nodes in specific systems: migratory, maritime, energy, and technological.
