Former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen claims NATO is disintegrating and calls for Europe to create a new defensive alliance with new defense plans and military capabilities.

The claims involve significant international relations issues. Extensive web evidence was found for each claim, centered on European defense strategies and the potential for new alliances, but none explicitly confirm the statements attributed to Anders Fogh Rasmussen. The notion of NATO's disintegration is theoretically discussed but lacks substantial backing from high-quality sources or Rasmussen's explicit statements. However, there is credible evidence of increased European defense spending and interest in strategic autonomy which aligns with broader calls for new alliances but not directly from Rasmussen. Overall, the claims are more opinion-based or speculative.
