CRINK: It’s the new ‘Axis of Evil’
CRINK: It’s the new ‘Axis of Evil’
PATO: The Pacific and Atlantic Treaty Organization
Their cooperation is forcing NATO to build closer ties with like-minded countries in the Indo-Pacific. For the first time, senior officials from Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and Japan took part in a meeting with NATO defense ministers in Brussels on Thursday.
They baddies are “forcing” NATO into this. The poor imperial core, being dragged around again. #AlwaysTheSameMap
Citations Needed podcast: The Always Stumbling US Empire: "Stumbling", "sliding", "drawn into" war––the media frequently assumes the US is bumbling its way around the world. The idea that the United States operates in “good faith” is taken for granted for most of the American press while war is always portrayed as something that happens to the US, not something it seeks out.
Also, doesn’t “CRINK” already have a name, the Axis of Resistance?
Anyway, death to POTATO.

It's interesting how NATO is "forced" to take action by Chinese military build-up, doesn't leave any room for China being forced to take action by NATO's military build-up. Reminds me of that recent video of previous NATO's head complaining about China placing bases close to NATO, when any NATO country is thousands of km away and China is deploying near its own coast.
Those dastardly axis of evil, how dare they place their countries so close to US military bases
As if the US military build-up to encircle and “contain” China has nothing to do with it. This new cold war began in earnest with Obama’s pivot to East Asia. The US has over 750 overseas military bases, while China has one anti-piracy base in Djibouti. The rhetoric is Orwelian.
When the Russian invasion started, the US government and media stressed that it was “unprovoked” at every opportunity. The empire doth protest too much.
- NATO Expansion: What Gorbachev Heard U.S. Secretary of State James Baker’s famous “not one inch eastward” assurance about NATO expansion in his meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on February 9, 1990, was part of a cascade of assurances about Soviet security given by Western leaders to Gorbachev and other Soviet officials throughout the process of German unification in 1990 and on into 1991, according to declassified U.S., Soviet, German, British and French documents posted today by the National Security Archive at George Washington University.

I like how Pakistan is striped as if they didn't just throw away billions of dollars of chinese investments for some IMF loans because the US told them to lol.
Also Afghanistan being green which actually happened right before Pakistan's thing
EDIT: Also India which always gets refused US arm tech sales because they exclusively buy from Russia lol. It's like enemy of my enemy but also friend of my other enemy.
