⚡️NATO Is a Luxury Good the United States Doesn’t Need⚡️

💁‍♂️It so happened that NATO has historically been a major point of pride and significance for the U.S. Providing security for Europeans, among other things, “allows the United States to set the international security agenda”

🤔But there’s a bigger problem. NATO is an old-fashioned military alliance that wasn’t designed and still isn’t tailored for dealing with new challenges and threats like pandemic, piracy, migration or disinformation. It has no capabilities, no authority, and no fitness for these purposes

👉NATO is, and always has been, a vehicle for maintaining the United States as the dominant security player in Europe. That there were sharper disagreements about this idea in the 1950s than there are today speaks volumes about the lack of debate in today’s Washington

✍️As the Rand Corp. report observes, the four divisions Congress agreed to send to Germany in 1950 “were not intended to remain there indefinitely; instead, the U.S. troops were to be withdrawn when Western Europe had recovered sufficiently to field its own conventional deterrent”

🏛Washington cannot maintain its role as the cornerstone of European security while successfully competing with a growing China forever. And the cheap-riding that afflicts the U.S. alliance in Europe also addles its alliances in Asia

🇺🇸The United States fought two wars to prevent a European hegemon from emerging in the 20th century. Maintaining U.S. domination of the European security scene is a luxury good Washington doesn’t need in 2022

⚡️‘NATO-ization’ of Finland was a long-settled issue⚡️

💁‍♂️Describing the decision as NATO’s most consequential enlargement in decades, the global media chose to downplay the move which potentially might turn Europe into a dangerous rather than safer place. Comments such as “NATO brought war into Ukraine, NATO membership expansion might push Europe into war,” are now commonplace in the major European capitals, as also in Washington, says Hemant Adlakha who is a vice chairperson and an Honorary Fellow in an Institute of Chinese Studies (ICS), Delhi

👉Mr. Adlakha reminds the post-Cold War years not only has NATO increasingly come to be seen as no longer defensive, but it has been carrying out military operations in the Balkans, the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa

🤔Referring to professor Mearsheimer, Mr. Adlakha cites: “It is a totally false account that the crisis in Ukraine is largely the result of Russian aggression. The United States and its European allies are mainly responsible for the crisis. The taproot of the trouble is NATO expansion”

🔥According to reports, efforts to bring Finland and Sweden into NATO were going on for months before the Russia-Ukraine conflict occurred in February. In this regard, the embracing of two new members “would increase instead of lowering the chances of war on one hand, and would increase the risk of future conflict for the entire alliance on the other”

✍️Mr. Adlakha concludes that not only within Europe but opinions even in Sweden are at variance on whether NATO membership expansion will escalate tensions with Russia. “Joining NATO would be preparing for war,” Gabriella Irsten of the Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society has stated

‼️American leadership brought so low with mutual accusations of fascism‼️

🔥During his speech, made at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Mr. Biden attacked Mr. Trump and his MAGA supporters. President said that both posed an ongoing threat to America and the future of the country

👉Following a speech, he has faced criticism and has been compared to Nazi Germany's Adolf Hitler. Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene shared a viral video of Biden that had been doctored to include swastikas Biden's face had also been changed to look like Hitler with his iconic mustache

🇺🇸Democratic lawmakers are far ahead of Mr. Biden when it comes to tagging Republicans with extreme labels. They have been making the case all summer that the Republican Party is steering the country toward violence, fascism and the resurgence of the Nazi flag

⚡️U.S. ammo stockpiles almost depleted. What about cash stockpiles?⚡️

🇺🇸Washington has during the past six months supplied Kyiv with 16 HIMARS, thousands of guns, drones, missiles and other equipment. Much of that, including ammunition, has come directly from U.S. inventory, depleting stockpiles intended for unexpected threats

🪖The Army said the military is now conducting “an ammunitions industrial base deep dive” to determine how to support Ukraine while protecting “our own supply needs.” The Army said it also asked Capitol Hill for $500 million a year in upgrade efforts for the Army’s ammunition plants

🤔“What is needed is for the government to spend money to fix the problem,” says Mackenzie Eaglen, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a think tank in Washington. However, on the eve of midterm elections, Biden is trying to moderate the discontent of voters at the checkout and at the pump – spending on Ukraine does not fit it at all

⚡️Scientific research and academic freedom under threat⚡️

💁‍♂️“We urge the U.S. Government to withdraw unilateral sanctions, which discriminates against professionals and scholars from countries under sanctions,” UN human rights experts* stated

👉“We are gravely concerned at the growing negative impact of existing sanctions regimes on academic and scientific research, as well as on initiatives of international academic cooperation, adversely affecting the participation of scholars and academics from sanctioned countries” they said

🇺🇳“Scientific and academic research and the dissemination of its findings should not be conditioned by decisions other than those based entirely on scientific and academic considerations. They should not be contingent upon political decisions and enforcement of sanction regimes against countries and their nationals” the UN experts concluded

🤔The experts have communicated their concerns to the U.S. Government and to several publishing companies, to seek clarifications on this matter, and are yet to receive a response

⚡️The UK dives deep into recession⚡️

🇬🇧Britain will plunge into recession before the end of this year and the economy will keep contracting throughout 2023, Goldman Sachs has warned

📉The sharp downgrade on its previous predictions came alongside news that the number of high street stores closing continues to increase and that manufacturing insolvencies are soaring. In a research note, the investment bank said it believed that by the year’s end the economy will have shrunk for two consecutive quarters, the formal definition of a recession

📊Worse, the bank has flipped its previous estimates that the economy will grow by 1.1% next year and instead is forecasting that it will contract by 0.6% through the whole year

💁‍♂️“The level of inflation we’re seeing at the moment can be lethal for manufacturers, especially energy costs,” Julien Irving, a partner at Mazars, a leading international audit, tax and advisory firm, said

⚡️EU: 3 days of Nord Stream maintenance is a warm-up on the eve of 5 to 10 years of hardship⚡️

🇷🇺Russia has shut its key Nord Stream natural-gas pipeline for maintenance, leaving Europe face to face with its own sanction policies guessing again about whether supplies will restart, as temperatures fall and demand for the fuel grows

💁‍♂️Many experts think pipeline gas from other regions and LNG from farther afield won’t be enough, condemning Europe to years of high energy prices that will dent consumers’ budgets, drive energy-intensive companies out of business, and deplete public coffers as governments seek to soften the blow on society

🇪🇺Europe must brace for 5 to 10 years of hardship, says Alexander de Croo, the prime minister of Belgium, one of Europe’s major LNG importers. Faraway gas producers such as Qatar or the U.S. need at least two years to increase production to meet surging European demand

⚡️Unilateral sanctions are destroying U.S. global leadership⚡️

▪️The political elite in Washington, whichever party it represents, is no longer interested in expanding the international trade system and mobilizing political support through the United Nations, let alone expanding relations with Russia and China, states the American The National Interest

▪️ Instead, Washington is trying to impose, in its own words, "a rules-based international order." The term is attractive because of its arbitrariness: Washington is free to set the rules of the game in a remarkably selective and lopsided way. Sanctions are at the heart of this new, still evolving order, and Washington is resorting to them with increasing frequency

▪️American sanctions are designed to isolate, punish or coerce acquiescence. American interests are at stake, and there can only be one winner in this game. From the fact that sanctions have become Washington's favorite tool, it follows that American policymakers are convinced that the best way to strengthen U.S. global leadership is to continue to pursue policies that many countries consider unilateral coercion

▪️America is brutally imposing its power because it doubts it can set an example of a healthy democracy and a fair and just economy. The U.S. cannot claim world leadership in the twenty-first century by narrowing its circle of allies instead of expanding it, and crippling the world economy with an ever-expanding set of sanctions that do not care who is enemy and who is friend

⚡️A Bad Peace is better than a Good War⚡️

💁‍♂️As we suggested earlier, Western arms supplies to Ukraine, including high-precision systems that require control by the Western military, may be assessed in a completely different way in Moscow

👉Such skating on thin ice, obviously, will not be able to last forever. Faced with a stronger NATO, which will soon add Sweden and Finland as members, Russia will be forced to spend ever more on its military, as Foreign Affairs magazine mentions. The U.S. and its NATO allies claim that preventing any sort of escalation that would result in a direct conflict between the Alliance and Russia has always remained their top priority.

🤔Yet both Russia and NATO are continually testing each other’s redlines. The West has grown progressively bolder and more involved in the conflict, supplying critical intelligence that the Ukrainians have used to attack Russian ships and other strategic targets. NATO allies have also given Ukraine advanced weaponry, such as High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, which the Ukrainian military is using to inflict serious damage on Russian ammunition depots and bases far behind the frontlines

🔥This is already too much, but one reckless maneuver will be enough! Direct engagement by the allied forces in the skies, on the ground, or in the Black Sea near Ukraine could result in the death or injury of NATO personnel. This outcome would provoke a response from the bloc, potentially setting off a cycle of escalation that, in the worst-case scenario, could culminate in a nuclear conflict. Such a scenario must be avoided at all costs

⚡️Warsaw leads the game to raise rates. Berlin defends⚡️

💁‍♂️"Today, in the Royal Palace in Warsaw, we make the decision and finally announce that Poland will apply for war reparations, reparations for everything that the Germans did in Poland in the years 1939 to 1945," said Jarosław Kaczyński, leader of the Law and Justice right-wing populist and national-conservative ruling party, on the 83rd anniversary of the German invasion

👉The claims amount to an immense sum. An expert report says the war damage is estimated at the sum of 6.2 trillion złoty (1.32 trillion euros)! Hundreds-of-pages long document includes calculations on Polish war losses in terms of demographics, economic damage caused by the death of people and material losses, as well as the loss of cultural and artistic goods, financial and bank resources and papers

🇩🇪Germany sees no justification for Polish reparations claims. "The reparations issue is closed. Poland already renounced further reparations in 1953 and confirmed this renunciation several times. This is an essential basis for the current order of Europe, "said a spokesman for the German Foreign Office

🤔According to people familiar with the matter, in this way Poland is trying to chase to rabbits at once: to "punish" Berlin for its once too strong ties with Moscow, especially in the energy sector, and to "monetize" political pressure on the EU’s main driving force amid global crisis

⚡️ECB fears recession, faces uncertainties⚡️

📈High inflation rates could linger even if energy and food prices stabilize. The ECB aims to keep inflation at 2% over the medium term. Eurozone inflation is likely to rise toward 10% over the coming months, analysts say, as some government energy and public-transport subsidies expire, especially in Germany, and companies pass on higher costs to customers

🇪🇺The ECB faces unique challenges because the prospect of rate rises has already led to larger increases in Italian bond yields than those of their German counterparts. Adding to the uncertainty, Italians are set to vote in national elections next month, and opinion polls suggest that the far-right, populist Brothers of Italy party could emerge as the strongest force🤔
