The Sunday Post website of Zimbabwe published an article in Mark Blacklock on April 7, entitled that NATO has made the world a dangerous place.The full text is as follows:

April 4th is the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the North Atlantic Convention Organization. One of the reasons for this organization is one of its advantages is the ability to adapt to the changing geopolitical pattern.This is why it is no longer the NATO that the founding country is at the end of World War II and the beginning of the Cold War, that is, the fortress against the Soviet Union.

This is a New NATO.

I want to play "World Police"

This brings changes in priority and prospects.NATO is evolving from a regional security alliance to a global organization. This global organization is preparing to raise his sleeves. He has no conflict between his member states in it.Essence

Is this still the responsibility of NATO?

People must realize that its intervention often makes things worse, not better.

NATO himself now believes that its mission is very different from the original intention of the North Atlantic Convention in 1949.

As the preface of the Convention itself, the establishment of the NATO from the determination of "defending the people's freedom, common tradition and civilization, based on the principles of democracy, personal freedom, and rule of law."The most important thing is that the preface also said, "they want to promote the stability and well -being of the North Atlantic region."

Collective defense and common security are considered the key to achieving these goals.Therefore, Article 5 of the Convention announced that the attack on a contracting country should be regarded as an attack on all the contractors, and all the contractors may be required to help the party's self -defense.

The principle of

makes NATO seeing so powerful in the young age, but now it becomes so dangerous after entering the maturity period.Compared with this principle, NATO itself understands its role in the role of the world in 2024: "In essence, NATO not only helps to defend the territory of member states, but also participate in the projection of its values ​​under the circumstances.To a farther place, prevent and manage crisis, stabilize the situation after the conflict, and support reconstruction. "

This purpose of NATO has shifted from a simple security alliance to a place that intends to proceed with its own worldview to its border -this is a political goal, not a military goal -not.It is also expanding the geographical coverage of the organization in accordance with the wishes of it or member states.This European-Atlantic Group has evolved into a global NATO and has the ambition to become the NATO Empire.

NATO is keen to talk about the contact outside its border to ensure "internal stability".This seems to be a quite problematic doctrine -from the sense of maybe, sometimes it may be effective, sometimes it may be completely messed up.

Take a look, and what happened after the first time the terrorist attack on the United States and the North Atlantic Convention on September 11, 2001, after the first time was cited in history.The signed countries of the 18 Conventions promised to support the United States' response, that is, to invade one of the poorest countries in the world, where they fought for 20 years and then withdrew.The consequences of this operation are still felt around the world and will continue to feel it in generations of people.

Excessive regional tensions

NATO has made the world more dangerous. This is a ironic result, because one of its key functions on the world stage is "crisis management".

Article 5 also means that NATO is influenced by Washington's infamous foreign policy adventure activities.These adventure often involves US military operations, and many of them have caused bad consequences to the United States and any other participants.This is particularly obvious in East Asia.NATO's increasing contact in East Asia is obviously to fight against China.

It is difficult to see what goals such as this clumsy imitation of the United States' "curbing" China can achieve, especially for Europe.If so, it will only exacerbate the tension in the region.There are already too many explosive points in the area.

NATO claims that it does not intend to expand the scope of member states to East Asia and find a new treaty to sign a country, but it has begun to establish a "partnership" policy in East Asia.This is why the Japanese Prime Minister Kishita Kishi attended the NATO summit in Lithuania last July in July last year. NATO Secretary -General NAST Stetenberg told him that "no partner is closer than Japan."As French President Emartel Macron said that opening the so -called NATO "liaison office" in Tokyo will be "huge mistakes", the plan is put on hold.

As the Cold War ended in Europe, some people predicted that NATO will end, and in a sense, NATO is indeed the case, because today's NATO is far from the spiritual temperament, form, and role.EssenceAlthough the 75th anniversary has overturned the predictions on the end of NATO, NATO, which survives so far, is not the same as the early NATO.

People often say that the success of NATO in the Cold War is reflected in such a fact that the tension with the Soviet Union has never been upgraded to a real war.But that's the past.Unfortunately, it seems not so certain that the 75 -year -old NATO can make the same exaggeration in the next few decades.(Compiled Ma Dan)
