12 Dec 2019 – A recent article \u201cNATO is Brain Dead<\/a>\u201d\u00a0described the obsolescence Of NATO and NATO\u2019s defense mechanisms against non-existence enemies.

Now we learn from the French Peace Movement which was present at the 70th<\/sup> Birthday at Buckingham, London \u2013 that the horrors of NATO planned for the coming year \u2013 and if not stopped \u2013 they will be sowing destruction way beyond \u2013 are even more horrific than originally imagined. We also lean that Macron \u2013 who coined the by now legendary phrase \u201cNATO is Brain Dead\u201d is intimately part of the new NATO deal, Macron, again has launched a \u201cnasty boy\u201d propaganda, while in reality embracing NATO wholeheartedly.<\/p>\n

NATO Summit: An Even More Aggressive and Increasingly Expansionary Military Alliance<\/em><\/p>\n

Contrary to the media preparation cleverly orchestrated by President Macron, the NATO summit held in London on December 5 and 6, 2019 has not led to a questioning of this military alliance dating back to the Cold War. , on the contrary.<\/p>\n

After celebrating 70 years of NATO at Buckingham Palace, the Heads of State and Government unanimously adopted a final declaration stating that \u201cterrorism in all its forms and manifestations \u2026 remains a persistent threat to us all \u201cand that\u201d Russia\u2019s aggressive actions pose a threat to Euro-Atlantic security \u201cand for the first time showcasing China\u2019s rise as a\u201d challenge \u201cfor NATO. Thus we want to justify the revival of the arms race, a new enlargement of NATO in the Balkans with this year the accession of North Macedonia after the accession of Montenegro in 2018 and the implementation of NATO Readiness Initiative (NRI) announced by Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General. From 2020, NATO will be able to mobilize 25,000 soldiers, 300 fighter planes and 30 combat ships from the different armies of the partner countries in less than 30 days.<\/p>\n

The London summit is therefore very much part of the aggressive and expansionist strategy of the United States, as analyzed by the international counter-summit organized in London on November 30 by pacifist forces from all over the planet \u2013 including the Peace Movement and the French collective \u201cNo \u00e0 l\u2019OTAN\u201d. NATO no longer has \u201cNorth Atlantic\u201d as the name, because we are witnessing a dangerous globalization of NATO present on all continents through defense agreements with many countries.<\/p>\n

The decisions taken in London reveal Emmanuel Macron\u2019s statements on NATO\u2019s \u201cbrain death\u201d for what they are: a smokescreen aimed at putting France back as a champion of accelerated military integration. European Union, presented as an act of autonomy vis-\u00e0-vis NATO while it perfectly meets the objectives of NATO to finance more military spending by the European countries themselves while building capacity military facing Russia presented as a threat.<\/p>\n

In 2020, Europe will be the setting for the Defender 2020 maneuvers, the biggest maneuvers since the end of the Cold War, when troops from the United States will deploy to Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. to go to the borders of Russia, crossing Eastern Europe. These maneuvers will culminate in April-May 2020 and France will participate without questioning their provocation vis-\u00e0-vis Russia.<\/p>\n

President Macron has undoubtedly succeeded in getting himself talked about before the summit and he has obtained that is indicated in the joint statement the opening of a group of \u201cprospective reflection\u201d on the strategy of the Atlantic Alliance; in fact, France will remain in NATO an unconditional ally of the strategies decided in Washington.<\/p>\n

The pacifist counter-summit decided to intensify its actions in 2020 to denounce NATO as a factor of war and insecurity and to demand its dissolution, in favor of a security alternative that includes all the countries of the continent. European. The Defender 2020 maneuvers will be the occasion for the mobilization of public opinion against NATO, an instrument of war in the service of North American hegemony, in favor of a Europe of peace in a safer world.<\/p>\n
