"..the transformation of NATO towards a more political, less militarily threatening, alliance." NATO was redundant after the end of the cold war: a solution looking for a problem. It remained in existence solely to justify the budgetary requirements of the military Industrial complex of which Thatcher was a vocal supporter. Her son Mark of course also made a bundle from the death business by facilitating access . Thatcher was effectively looking for an extended role to justify the survival of what was effectively a redundant organisation. Clausewitz maxim that "War is politics by other means." can also be reversed: extending a belligerent NATO into the "political" sphere effectively meant "Sanctions".
