NATO No No No!

Why is the United States pushing to establish an Asian NATO?

Good morning,

Today is Wednesday the 10th of July 2024 and today we're going to explore the NATO Summit that's being held in Washington today and tomorrow. And, I think we're going to start with an article written by the the former Singapore ambassador to the United Nations, Kishore Mahbubani, who was actually appointed twice as Singapore’s UN ambassador.

Now, he's a very, very well-respected figure, and he wrote in 2021 that...

“that the Pacific has no need of the destructive militaristic culture of the Atlantic Alliance.”

Now, what was he talking about?

What he was talking about was the fact that NATO, which has existed since post-World War II and the Cold War era, basically has been involved in invasions and wars in Europe, in the Middle East, Central Asia, North Africa and other places.

And now the United States wants NATO to be dragged in to Asia.
