INTERVIEW ON THE PRICE OF BUSINESS SHOW, MEDIA PARTNER OF THIS SITE.
Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed USMC Colonel (Ret) Eric Buer.
Col. Eric Buer (USMC Ret.) returned to the show today to discuss the U.S. reengagement with NATO amid growing global tensions. While he welcomed America’s renewed involvement, he raised concerns about the approach being taken. Rather than fostering unity, the U.S. is increasingly relying on strong-arm tactics—pressuring allies, demanding more defense spending, and framing support in transactional, dollars-and-cents terms. This risks eroding trust and alienating key partners at a time when unity is crucial. Col. Buer emphasized that true leadership in NATO requires diplomacy, shared values, and long-term commitment—not coercion or conditional support. He warned that short-term leverage could lead to long-term fractures within the alliance.
