Let's give Trump, Putin and Xi Jinping credit for inspiring the world to form military and economic treaties protecting nations from Fascist empire builders

The argument for Indo-Pacific ‘collective deterrence’

Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is boosting defense, alliances and collective deterrence to protect Japan, support allies and maintain Indo-Pacific stability.

The Japan Times

Southeast Asia must reconsider its approach to regional security, exploring a modern, ASEAN-led defense framework to protect its sovereignty amid growing U.S.–China rivalry.

When independent #India had refused to join any of the military alliances like #SEATO and #CENTO that U.S. imperialism had formed around the world to encircle the #SovietUnion, but had instead chosen to follow a policy of non-alignment, it had earned the wrath of the U.S. Its then Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles had advanced the dictum “if you are not with us then you are against us”; in accordance with it the U.S. had treated India with hostility.

Imperialism and its bullying of India | MR Online

IT is ironical that on the 78th anniversary of the victory of the Indian people’s struggle against British imperialism, U.S. imperialism is openly bullying India into obeying its diktat.

@NX03 Ja, nur vergleich mal #WarscherPakt & #RGW vs. #NATO, #SEATO, #ANZUS & #NAFTA...

Die USA haben nicht sich gewaltsam Kuba wieder mit ner Marionette gesichert, aber ich rechne damit dass Xi nur darauf wartet, Taiwan zu überrennen...

Oder Nord- gegen Südkorea...

Davon Dass Putin das Existenzrecht diverser NATO-Mitglieder wie Finnland, Estland, Lettland und Litauen infragestellt und was dies für implikationen für Europa hat mal abgesehen...

Eahrscheinlich war der Plan mit #J6 die #USA in nen #Bürgerkrieg zu treiben und damit die #Ukraine ohne wirkliche Gegenwehr zu erobern...
