NATO to prioritize war with Russia over usual (neo) colonial racketeering

From the report

NATO is formally changing its strategic planning to prioritize fighting Russia over conducting wars of aggression against much weaker opponents such as Afghanistan or Iraq, its two largest invasions in previous decades. According to Politico, the world’s most aggressive racketeering cartel’s 32 member states are now negotiating on their “next capability targets, which determine the forces and weapons allies would provide in a conflict — and who would pay for them”. Quoting four anonymous NATO diplomats familiar with the matter, the report suggests there’s a draft document about “allies [that] would no longer be expected to provide enough forces to fight a major European war and conduct several smaller crisis-management missions at the same time”. Instead, NATO would need to pick “one scenario or the other”.

In simpler terms, the world’s most aggressive racketeering cartel needs to opt for either continuing its crawling “Barbarossa 2.0” or focus on its wars of aggression elsewhere around the world, because it cannot afford to do both. This is a somewhat unusual admission, but it was certainly expected, as the political West is terrified by the emerging multipolar world. Namely, while the United States, supported by its allies, vassals and satellite states, could previously conduct multiple major wars on different continents, it can no longer do that, as its opponents have become far more powerful than they were just 10-15 years ago. Superpowers such as Russia and China have dramatically regained and strengthened their military might, respectively, while regional powers, such as North Korea and Iran, are able to influence global geopolitics.

Pyongyang is in possession of a small thermonuclear arsenal, but with a planetary reach thanks to its superpower-grade delivery systems, forcing Washington DC to deeply rethink its decades-long threats to bomb North Korea. Tehran doesn’t have similar capabilities (for the time being), but the failed US aggression might force it to really develop a credible global deterrent. Iran is already in possession of a robust delivery-systems base, making it only a matter of time before it acquires intercontinental-range missiles. The Pentagon has already begun reforming its strategic commands to match these new realities, with the doctrine of so-called “containment” shifting to the Asia-Pacific, where the US is terrified of China’s growing power. The strategy in this vast region now revolves around forming an “Asia-Pacific NATO”.
