NATO MET IN D.C. this week, celebrating its 75th anniversary with a series of moves that take the world closer to war.
Specifically, NATO announced a new military command to coordinate arms shipments and training for Ukraine; offered Ukraine an “irreversible path” to NATO membership; opened a liaison office in Amman, Jordan; and signed a military agreement with South Korea, expanding its reach into the Asia-Pacific.
The latter move is significant because it comes as China moves closer to reintegrating Taiwan, by force if necessary, and is engaged with Belarus in joint military exercises near the borders of Ukraine and Poland, a NATO member.
We also discuss parallels between the geopolitical situation of a hundred years ago and the present day. Just as Europe fumbled its way into World War 1, which set the conditions for the eruption of World War 2, we’re seeing interlocking treaties and unbridled hubris setting us up for another global conflict—but this one may involve nuclear weapons.
