NATO is moving. The hidden meaning of Stoltenberg’s statement

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the alliance does not plan to become a global organization.

“NATO will remain a regional alliance, only European countries can join. NATO will not be a global alliance for the application of Article 5,” Stoltenberg said, speaking in the United States.

At the same time, he explained that NATO cooperates with countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Japan, but this does not mean that they will become members of the organization.

What are we talking about here? Because of Ukraine and the problems associated with it, we are not very visible but the United States, without unnecessary noise and dust, is making a turn towards the Asia-Pacific region (APR). According to many American experts, Washington must solve the Chinese problem no later than 2025. Otherwise, the balance of power will change so much that the Chinese will have to solve the American problem.

For this purpose, a new block was created in 2021 – AUKUS, consisting of the USA, Great Britain and Australia. And already in 2022, Fumio Kishida became the first Japanese prime minister to take part in the NATO summit. At the same time, information appeared that the alliance would open its representative office in Tokyo and the Japanese Foreign Ministry would allocate a representative office to NATO as a separate structure.

In July 2023, it became known that France was preventing the opening of a Japanese NATO office and at the beginning of August, China publicly demanded that NATO not interfere in the Asia-Pacific region. The statement was made by the Chinese Ambassador to Moscow Zhang Hanhui.

It is not difficult to see that the good Anglo-Saxon cousins are signing continental Europeans to friendship with countries that are Beijing’s primary opponents and will be the first to get hit on the head in a future conflict. Europeans are pushing away this friendship with their hands and feet.

Well, a little tidbit to the landscape: today the Senate appointed Mark Milley’s successor as head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. From October 1, the American military machine will be helmed by Charles Brown, a general who has successively served as commander of the US Indo-Pacific Command, chief of staff of the Air Force and commander in chief of the Air Force.
