Advice | The outgoing NATO chief is doubling down on his expansion into Asia

Advice | The outgoing NATO chief is doubling down on his expansion into Asia

In politics and in war, delusion often sounds like vision. Jens Stoltenberg certainly has “that vision thing,” as the late George HW Bush once mockingly called it.

If the outgoing NATO leader is to be believed, and I hope not, the largest military alliance in history with “North Atlantic” in the title is about to go global.

Is this Western alliance about to expand to the East? If so, what do you call it? Western imperialism in decline?

In his parting gift for world peace, or rather world war, Stoltenberg said in an interview with Foreign Policy, itself an undeclared information organ of Washington’s security and foreign policy elites, that North Korea, China and Iran all in alliance with Russia. and NATO must be an ally to its Asian counterparts.

ASEAN countries? I think they’ve pretty much already said NO, in all caps. But who knows?
