NATO Puzzle

Paris (France) | 8 December 2020
No one challenged NATO rules during the Cold War except France. But in view of its excesses since 2001, each of its members (except Turkey) is thinking of getting out of it, including the United States for whom it is nevertheless indispensable. The internal report on what it should become illustrates its contradictions and the difficulty of reforming it.

At the UN, NATO and EU Members Abstains on Nazism

Rome (Italy) | 26 November 2020
The political significance of this vote is clear: NATO members and partners boycotted the Resolution which, first of all, calls into question Ukraine without naming it, whose neo-Nazi movements have been and are used by NATO for strategic purposes.

Rome (Italy) | 23 October 2020
A new NATO command was born in Norfolk (Virginia, USA): the Norfolk Joint Force Command, called "Atlantic Command," is a clone of the Naples Joint Force Command with headquarters in Lago Patria (Naples). Its constitution was approved by the North Atlantic Council at the Defense Ministers level (for Italy the first Conte Government’s Minister Elisabetta Trenta ), in June 2018.
Just as the NATO command in Naples is under the orders of the Admiral who commands the US naval forces in Europe (...)

Propaganda: NATO calls for bids

22 October 2020
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is soliciting bids from NGOs, universities, public and private think-tanks in all its member states.
The official purpose is to develop tools that increase the resilience of populations to "enemy" (read "Russian") disinformation. But the problem is that in order to fight against propaganda, it is necessary to target all propaganda, including NATO’s.
In practice, therefore, the tools will only serve to discredit reactions to NATO propaganda: for (...)

Karabagh: NATO supports Turkey while seeking to eliminate President Erdoğan

Paris (France) | 15 October 2020
In the Karabakh War, contemporary law is contradictory depending on whether it is interpreted in terms of ownership of the territory or the self-determination of the people. Taking advantage of this equivocation, the Turkish people (i.e., both Turkey and Azerbaijan) have just attacked this territory, self-proclaimed independent (Artsakh) although de facto linked to Armenia. Russia has already made it known that, according to the treaties, it will defend Armenia if it is attacked, but that its national security is not concerned by what is happening in Karabagh. Therefore, the only question is to establish whether Turkey has acted on the orders of the West, or whether it has taken an initiative that its own allies are likely to turn against it.

NATO underhandedly supports Turkey and Azerbaijan

11 October 2020
Azerbaijan is relying on NATO secret service agents within the former Warsaw Pact to mobilize the international media against the Armenians.
The Nizami Ganjavi International Center, named after a famous 12th century poet, was founded in Baku on 30 September 2012. Its board comprises many political figures from the Caucasus, the Balkans, Eastern Europe and the Baltic States. The Center is co-financed by Azerbaijan and the Exxon-Mobil Corporation.
In its April 2020 monthly magazine, (...)

NATO at the Helm of European Foreign Policy

Rome (Italy) | 27 June 2020
NATO Defense Ministers (Lorenzo Guerini, Pd representing Italy) gathered by videoconference on June17/18, and made a series of “decisions to strengthen the Alliance’s deterrence.” However, nobody in Italy talks about it, neither the media (including social media) nor the political world, where an absolute multipartisan silence reigns over all this. Yet these decisions, basically dictated by Washington and signed by Minister Guerini for Italy, not only trace the guidelines of our military (...)

NATO in Arms to «fight coronavirus»

Rome (Italy) | 10 April 2020
The 30 NATO foreign ministers met on April 2 by videoconference, and instructed US general Tod Wolters, Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, to "coordinate the necessary military support to fight the coronavirus crisis".

First NATO-ME War Overturns Regional Order

Damascus (Syria) | 24 March 2020
While Europeans and Arabs are being absorbed by the coronavirus, Anglo-Saxons are changing the world order. Under US command, the United Kingdom took control of the Red Sea entrance; the United Arab Emirates turned on Saudi Arabia and inflicted a bitter defeat on South Yemen, while the Houthis did the same in North Yemen. Yemen is now split into two separate states and the territorial integrity of Saudi Arabia is threatened.

In a Europe closed down by the Coronavirus, the EU opens its doors to the US army

Rome (Italy) | 15 March 2020
30,000 US soldiers are currently disembarking in the European Union without respecting the sanitary measures ordered by Brussels and the member States. Either the command of the US Army Europe is incompetent and is putting its soldiers needlessly in harm’s way, or else they have already been vaccinated.

"NATO Go Home!"

Damascus (Syria) | 18 February 2020
For two decades, US troops have been imposing their law on the broader Middle East. Entire countries are now without a state to defend them. Populations have been subjected to the dictatorship of the Islamists. Mass murders have been committed. There have been famines as well. President Donald Trump has forced his generals to repatriate their soldiers, but the Pentagon intends to continue its work with NATO soldiers.

NATO to deploy troops in Greater Middle East

14 February 2020
Ultimately, it looks as though NATO will take over in the Arab world after the withdrawal of CentCom (US Central Command in the Middle East). Germany could play a leadership role in the Alliance.

2. deploy the Alliance in Iraq and Jordan and make the war in Syria go on forever.
On 1 February 2020, Turkey suddenly moved closer to NATO, of which it is a member, and (...)
