NATO growth accelerating its decline


JIN DING/CHINA DAILY

By way of worldwide gatherings, June has been a busy month. Three BRICS-related conferences, together with the BRICS Summit, had been held in Beijing final week. The three-day G7 Summit concluded in Germany on Tuesday. And the NATO Summit will likely be held in Madrid on Wednesday and Thursday.

The G7 and NATO summits search to take care of the US-dominated worldwide order, by intensifying bloc-to-bloc confrontation, escalating current tensions and crises, and concentrating on China and Russia.

Following a gathering of NATO protection ministers not too long ago, NATO Secretary Common Jens Stoltenberg declared: “NATO will enhance its fight models alongside its japanese flank.” And the NATO Summit, in line with Stoltenberg, will likely be transformational, the place essential selections will likely be made in essential areas, equivalent to sustaining help for Ukraine and different “nations in danger” and enhancing NATO’s deterrence and protection capabilities.

At a latest information convention, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated: “We’ll make it possible for we shield each sq. inch of NATO territory. For the reason that struggle started, we have deployed greater than 20,000 further troops to NATO’s japanese flank. Many allies are additionally growing their navy presence in Jap and Southeastern Europe. Final month, Finland and Sweden, two longstanding companions of NATO, made the choice to hunt NATO membership.”

He added that “the USA strongly helps Finland and Sweden’s purposes”. Claiming that each nations are greater than certified to develop into full members of NATO, Blinken stated that, by becoming a member of NATO, they are going to strengthen the transatlantic navy alliance. “We look ahead to rapidly bringing them into the strongest defensive alliance in historical past.”

Regardless of the high-pitched confidence of Stoltenberg and Blinken, NATO leaders couldn’t break by means of the resistance of Turkey in opposition to the NATO membership of Sweden and Finland. Turkey desires each the Scandinavian nations to cease supporting the Kurdistan Employees’ Get together (PKK) and the Gülen organizations, that are terrorist outfits, and to carry the navy embargo on Turkey. The Gülen organizations are the Turkish type of the “SuperNATO”, the parallel state construction established by the US in NATO nations, and was liquidated to a big extent when the NATO-backed coup try on July 15, 2016 failed. It carries out its anti-Turkey actions in NATO nations, based mostly within the US.

But Finland appears positive of getting NATO membership, as Finnish President Sauli Niinisto declared that his nation would get it by “September on the newest”.

Turkey’s difficulty with NATO and the US isn’t restricted to their assist for the PKK and Gülen organizations. NATO additionally opposes Turkey’s measures to guard its rights within the Jap Mediterranean and the Aegean Sea. Over the previous two years, the navy siege of Turkey, led by the US and Israel, and supported by France and the UK to the benefit of Greece, has accelerated.

These nations are conducting intensive navy workout routines, ostensibly focused at Turkey. Common Patrick Sanders, chief of common workers of the UK, even issued an inside message on June 16-seen by BBC-to arrange for struggle in Europe, creating doubts over NATO’s intentions.

NATO was established after World Warfare II which devastated Europe by the US with the purpose of controlling the continent. Previous to the institution of NATO, navy models had been surreptitiously established in US ally states in Europe to “struggle communism”. When NATO was based, these buildings had been secretly institutionalized and have become generally known as “SuperNATO”. Of the 30 NATO member states, solely Turkey has purged the “SuperNATO” construction on its territory after the coup try in 2016.

The ambitions of the US are past its energy. And because of upsetting and prolonging the struggle in Ukraine, the US appears to be shedding management over European Union member states. To consolidate its maintain on Europe, due to this fact, the US, ignoring former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger’s warning, determined to make Ukraine a scapegoat.

NATO is now attempting to incite violence in and polarize the Asia-Pacific area as if all of the harm it has already prompted within the Atlantic is not sufficient. NATO has invited the leaders of Japan and the Republic of Korea for the primary time to attend its summit on Wednesday and Thursday with the purpose of extending NATO’s arm to the Asia-Pacific to comprise China’s rise. However by designating China as a strategic opponent, NATO might have accelerated its dissolution.

In any case, the US’ makes an attempt to create a unipolar world have achieved huge hurt to humanity, as they’ve triggered wars, prompted famine, elevated poverty. And the burden of imperialist hegemony has rendered our planet uninhabitable.

Since their economies are already dealing with nice difficulties, the transatlantic nations are additional hurting themselves by succumbing to the frenzied ambitions of the US. Whereas the Western nations attempt to set off conflicts and proceed to use pure sources, Asian nations are pursuing sustainable growth and studying to stay in concord with nature. On the BRICS Summit, for instance, the member states vowed to pursue growth based mostly on equality and justice.

For the reason that growing nations have chosen the sustainable path to growth whereas NATO member states proceed to incite confrontations and conflicts to proceed their maintain over the world, NATO appears to be getting nearer to its dissolution with every step it takes to increase eastward.

The views do not essentially mirror these of China Every day.
