Modern alliances are defensive in nature and, as a result, are more resilient and durable than aggression-oriented pacts of the distant past. There is more to it than that, though. They are often seen as quasi-alliances even though they do not entail any defense commitments. China sees the Quad as an Indo-Pacific NATO. And, whereas most analysts agree that Russia and China are not on the way to forming a true defense alliance, it is increasingly perceived as such.128Ananth Krishnan, Chinas Foreign Minister says U.S. US Department of Defense, Nuclear Posture Review Report, 2010.

Almost all of these alliances are vague enough or contain sufficient ambiguity to avoid the protected party believing that its security guarantor would automatically use force to defend it. This was made clear by the ICJs rulings: an accumulation of minor events could be tantamount to an armed attack.98Zemanek, Armed Attack. (NATO adopted it in 2021 for cyberattacks and there is thus no reason why it could not use it also for militia attacks.99Brussels Summit Communiqu Issued by the Heads of State and Government Participating in the North Atlantic Council in Brussels.)
