OPINION | NATO’s barbarians are expanding and converging at the gates of Asia

Ruined the proxy war in Ukraine? Blame China. Beijing is the “critical enabler” of this war while the West is dedicating so much military hardware to the conflict that it is emptying its own arsenals, yet still unable to win. Really.

No wonder people say the West is losing the (non-)information war over Ukraine, because almost no one outside Western capitals, especially outside the centres of power and the mainstream press, believes this nonsense.

But if the Western allies cannot win in Eastern Europe, they can just drag out a war of attrition and extend it into Asia. After all, Ukrainian lives are at stake. Kiev has been dragging men off the streets to become artillery fodder on the front lines.

America may be destroying the globalization of trade, but make no mistake, it is also globalizing war. This is the start of what people more commonly call a world war – World War III. All this madness was on full display in Washington last week, when NATO celebrated death and destruction at its 75th anniversary summit. A defensive alliance whose expiration date has long since passed, NATO has become an instrument of Western, or rather American, military expansionism.

Given U.S. President Joe Biden’s apparent mental decline, he may be forgiven for insisting to ABC News host George Stephanopoulos that he is indispensable: “You know, I don’t just run a campaign, I run the world.”

The leaders of NATO and other Western nations cannot use dementia as an excuse, but they still harbor the delusion that they control the world, and that is the real existential danger to us all.

Surprisingly, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said that NATO acts as a “bridge” between the Euro-Atlantic and Indo-Pacific regions.

This is the new mandate Washington has given to NATO. But why? The US already has a stronger naval power in the Pacific than anywhere else. NATO and a few Asian allies will help save face and legitimize good old American neo-imperialism.

That is why Western commentators and politicians say President Vladimir Putin has his sights set on NATO countries like Poland, and that China wants to dominate the Indo-Pacific region.

If there is no demand for services, one must create it. This is why NATO is constantly exaggerating and creating threats. But has Blinken ever considered that most countries in Asia, including the Indian subcontinent, would not want NATO militarism to spread like a plague in their region?

Indeed, because Blinken and co. already have a Trojan Horse for Asia, or rather four: South Korea, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. The last two countries aren’t even in the Indo-Pacific region, but never mind: they’re being drafted. It’s an offer from the Big Boss they can’t refuse, even if it means risking their economies and the lives of their young people.

As outgoing NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg proudly declared last week, Western allies will work closely with their four partners in the Indo-Pacific region and “continue to deepen cooperation to address common challenges.”

Why did this new attack begin? There are at least two possible reasons. One is what could be called NATO’s sunk cost fallacy in Ukraine. NATO initially thought it could finish off Putin’s regime and the Russian economy. But that didn’t work, and now it’s wasting money. The other reason is that China was always the ultimate target. But the Western allies thought they could afford to get rid of Russia before getting to China. Now NATO has to face both.

But what about the possibility that Moscow and Beijing simply want to end the West’s encirclement by their neighbors, for example by keeping Ukraine and the South China Sea neutral under some sort of detente? Western critics say that’s naive.

Well, don’t be fooled by the fact that Western countries still think they rule the world.
