NATO Expansionism and the Collapse of Pan-European Security
Professor Glenn Diesen
NATO expansion has been the source of the Ukraine War as it advanced a zero-sum security system based on hegemony and thus abandoned the decades-long path to a security architecture based on indivisible security. Many American and European leaders recognised that NATO expansion would redivide the continent and revive the logic of the Cold War. Yet, NATO believed a hegemonic peace would not trigger a security competition if Russia remained weak and thus have no other options than to adjust to new realities. Recognising NATO's role in undermining pan-European security and triggering the Ukraine War is necessary to resolve the Ukraine War and prevent new wars. However, the narrative control organised around the notion that NATO dominance is a “force for good” has prevented a debate and review of the evidence for the dangerous path we are currently on.
Amusingly, it seems the NATO countries are going to embark on a new arms-race, which quite obviously is going to tank their weak economies.
It seems the claims that Raygun made are going to finally come true - in reverse.
It will be the West that bankrupts itself attempting to keep up with the Russians, and crashing the American Empire in the process.
People often say "Karma is a bitch", but actually female dogs are nice, and so can she be. :)
Excellent account.
