Current State of NATO and U.S. Hegemony

President Emanual Macron of France once said, “NATO is brain dead.” I think President Macron is 100% correct. NATO was formed in 1950s as a united force against the Soviet Union. Since the USSR came to an end in 1991, really what is the use of NATO? Well, it did help in the Bosnian War with Serbia, and of course the Afghanistan War against terrorism. 

Let me explain what NATO means. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO, has what is known as Article 5 which means that if one member country is attacked all NATO members protect that country. During the Afghanistan War, Article 5 was activated, and all NATO members had troops participating. But in the end, after 20 years of fighting, the U.S. lost the war to the Taliban, pulled out in dishonor, left 85 billion dollars’ worth of American high-tech machinery and weapons behind; not to mention the thousands of civilian casualties. 

Then why are NATO members staying together? Especially Turkiye?

Turkiye stays close. not because it cares about NATO members, but because it wants to be around to see what the enemy is doing. Like the saying, ‘keep you friends close, but keep your enemies closer.’ Turkiye needs time to develop its own defense systems, its economy, and its relationship with the rest of the world. 

We shall see how NATO is going to react when President Erdogan attends the Shanghai 5 meetings. But in reality, what business is it if a member NATO county’s president attends the Shanghai 5 meetings? 

I say this because for the past 40 years the U.S. has supported the PKK, YPG, YPD terrorist organizations against Turkiye. And yet Turkiye and the U.S. are both NATO members. Turkiye has spent over 300 billion dollars fighting PKK and 30 thousand of its citizens of Kurdish origin have died.

In addition to the U.S, France, Germany, Holland, Sweden, Finland, and have the European nations support the PKK; most of these nations are NATO members. 

The U.S. claims they are trying to help the Kurdish people to have a country of their own, to be known as Greater Kurdistan, with lands claimed from parts of Turkiye, Iraq, Syria, and Iran. The Kurdistan plan was created by the Israelis. In their mind they have figured if they take lands from these countries and form a Kurdish country it can be easily taken away from the Kurds; hence the greater Jewish promised lands will finally be achieved. 

But the Israelis also know that they can’t just take away land from the Turks. Yet Jewish politicians in the Pentagon support this. That is why there is American involvement in changing the borders of 22 Middle Eastern nations. As retired Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice once said, “the U.S. does its meddling through NATO. 

In fact, the NATO meeting that occurred in Istanbul in 1976 was all about breaking up Yugoslavia which they did. NATO also had a Gladio organization inside Turkiye, with the purpose of dividing Turkiye. But the Prime Minister at that time, Mr. Bulent Ecevit, warned Gladio to either disassemble Gladio, or else the U.S. base in Incirlik would be shut down. 

Did NATO stop what was it doing? NO! It supported an uneducated religious cleric, Fetullah Gulen, who tried to change Turkish society the way the Pentagon ruled Arabs. In 2015 there was a failed a coup detat that ended with over 300 Turkish citizens dead. In addition, Feto members within the Turkish Armed Forces attempted to bomb the Turkish Parliament but failed. 

Let’s talk about an incident that happened just last week. The Turks, flying Turkish F16s, participated in NATO exercises near one of the Greek islands. The Greeks used their S300 Russian made air defense system and locked on to one of the Turkish F16s. Now remember, both are NATO members. The Greeks treated the Turkiye as the enemy. 

Surely NATO isn’t that brain dead. But did the Greeks use their S300 air defense system to deliberately lock on to the Turkish F16 to see how Turkiye would react? Was their expectation that the Turks would counter-lock on the Greek F16 with their S400? If that had happened the U.S. and EU would have all sorts of excuses to condemn Turkiye and declare Turkiye the enemy. Sadly, the IQ levels of 90 Pentagon politicians expected that particular immediate reaction from the Turks. But it did not happen. 

Instead, the Turks are bringing the entire matter before NATO for a full explanation. But the same 90 Pentagon politicians already have had their say and demand that the two NATO members better behave, and that it will not tolerate Greeks and Turks coming at each other’s throats. IF they did, that was the end of NATO. 

For the time being the U.S still needs NATO to help them continue their 21st Century domination. How? The U.S. wants countries get at each other’s throats. When they do, the U.S. comes to the rescue to separate them, continuing their hegemony in the world. 

The Greeks are already denying their Russian made S300 air defense system locked on to the Turkish F16s. They figure the U.S. and NATO commanders will say, “Oh, Turkiye, you were right on this one. Some technicians accidentally fired the lock.” Reminders of 1992 when a U.S. warship fired two missiles and sank a Turkish frigate, then apologized it. But how could that be possible? The Centcom commanders know every military craft in the area. It’s not possible to just sweep it under the rug. 

On the Turkish side, Turks gnash their teeth to keep from saying anything. They could well have locked on to the Greek F16 with their s400, but that was not the time. When the time does come, believe me, the Greeks will definitely feel how the f16 lock will take place with one fire. 

The goal of the U.S. and the EU is to stop Turkiye from getting stronger especially in the defense system area. Turkiye has taken away from both the U.S. and Israel’s world drone market. 22 nations have bought Turkish drones. Even in Ukraine they preferred to buy Turkish drones as opposed to the U.S. made drone, which happen to be 10 times more expensive and pretty much useless. 

The U.S. and the EU want to wear Turkiye out and slow it down. They are hoping that the results of next year’s elections will put their puppet opposition party in power and Erdogan will be gone. That way they can manage Turkiye the way it did before. The U.S. and the EU are afraid of what Erdogan will do in the next five years if he does win. 

It is a foregone conclusion that Turkiye will be super power, but in the right way. Turkiye does not go to countries in Africa and colonize them. Instead, Turks help build nations like they have done in Somalia.

40 years ago, Somalia was a failed state. In the 1980s pirates took ships off the coast of Somalia with no consequences. American and European troops were sent to control the pirate situation, but in the end, they left. The Somalian people were left with famine and disease. The Turks went to Somalia with only 63 million dollars collected from the Turkish public. They helped the Somalians with food and clean water and taught the Somalians how to cultivate their farmlands. They started to train the Somalian army to look after themselves. They gave scholarships to Somalian students for education in Turkish Universities. Turks also have a base there to control the passage of commercial ships. In contrast all the French, Italian, English, and Americans did in Africa was take away the natural sources and give nothing back. Typical pirate attitude. In stark contrast the Turks have helped the Somalis. The Somalian people win. The Turks win. 

On a side note, the Turks currently spend 300 billion dollars for energy each year. But now that gas deposits have been found in the Black Sea there will be enough for Turkiye’s energy needs for the next 25 years. 300 billion dollars goes back into the economy for a more relaxed living for Turks. Times has changed. The EU will have an energy crisis; the Turks will not. 

Will the U.S. manage to remain the world’s superpower? I don’t think so. Biden’s September 1 hate-filled rant in Philadelphia was not to unite the country, but to divide it further. You might say that he was trying to appeal to his base. Maybe! But this country is definitely divided and in the event the liberals arrest Trump on made-up charges, it could very well spark a civil war. Perhaps that is Biden’s goal. If so, the Great Reset will begin.
