The U.S. is turning NATO into a global alliance. That’s a recipe for disaster. From Pepe Escobar at strategic-culture.su:
The outgoing epileptic slab of Norwegian wood posing as NATO Secretary-General put on quite a performance, Pepe Escobar writes.
We are the world. We are the people. We are NATO. And we’re comin’ to get ya – wherever you are, whether you want it or not.
Call it the latest pop iteration of the “rules-based international order” – duly christened at NATO’s 75th birthday in D.C.
Well, the Global Majority had already been warned – but brains under techno-feudalism tend to be reduced to mush.
So a gentle reminder is in order. This had already been stated in the first paragraph of the Joint Declaration on EU-NATO Cooperation, issued on January 9, 2023:
“We will further mobilize the combined set of instruments at our disposal, be they political, economic, or military, (italics mine) to pursue our common objectives to the benefit of our one billion citizens.”
Correction: barely one million, part of the 0.1% plutocracy. Certainly not one billion.
Cut to the 2024 NATO Summit Declaration – obviously redacted, with stellar mediocrity, by the Americans, with the other 31 assorted vassal members duly assenting.
So here’s the main 2024 NATO “strategic” trifecta:
- Extra tens of billions of dollars in “assistance” to the upcoming rump Ukraine; the overwhelming majority of these funds will be slushing around the industrial-military money laundering complex.
- Forceful imposition of extra military spending on all members.
- Massive hyping up of the “China threat”.
As for the theme song of the NATO 75 show, there are actually two. Apart from “China Threat” (closing credits), the other one (opening credits) is “Free Ukraine”. The lyrics go something like this: it looks like we are at war against Russia in Ukraine, but don’t be fooled: NATO is not a participant in the war.
Well, they are even setting up a NATO office in Kiev, but that is just to coordinate production for a Netflix war series.

I picture a Taco Bell ad campaign poodle yapping as Vlad appears annoyed.
The mean wymymns ministers of WAR are frightful and fearsome, like the little girl in front of the bull statue?
No we can’t.
Oh my, the fumes of victories from 80 years ago are wafting away behind the smoke and mirrors for the indispensable and vassal rumps.
