NATO cannot afford to stay silent on this issue any longer, especially not given the immediacy and potency of the threat and their expectation of unlimited support from America.

How About Acting Like Allies: NATO Needs to Focus on the PRC Threat

NATO’s survival hinges on recognizing the PRC as an existential threat, matching U.S. resolve with decisive action against Beijing’s aggression and its support for Russia’s war in Ukraine

Leaders of many NATO states are not reticent about criticizing President Trump, although the splenetic reaction to his return to office was largely private. The same can not be said about much of European media, where concern that the U.S. may abandon NATO and jeopardize the continuation of the war in Ukraine were dominant themes of their coverage and opinion pages. Our NATO allies want to know what the U.S. does for them. The answer is profound: the U.S. provides for the security of our NATO allies and has done so for three-quarters of a century. U.S. involvement in Europe stopped the Europeans from doing what they did best, which was to kill each other in war. Given what the U.S. has and continues to provide NATO allies, it is past time to turn that around: how will NATO allies aid the U.S. in our fight against the People’s Republic of China (PRC)?

The United States is in the struggle of the century with the PRC. As allies, NATO members need to step up and perceive the PRC as the great threat it is. NATO cannot hide, ignore, or pretend that it is a bystander to this threat. On the contrary, it must move to the fore in targeting the PRC. Russia and the PRC are cooperating in discrete security areas. This is an important signal to the world that their entente is solid. It is the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that is driving this—never forget their ideological fervor, which is the driving engine of their strategy.

Chairman Xi Jinping wants the Ukraine war to continue. A ruthless and Machiavellian dictator, he ignores the blood price of the conflict. He perceives that the longer the war continues, the greater Putin’s dependence on the PRC for diplomatic, economic, and military support. It was Xi who in 2022 proclaimed the “no limits” relationship with Russia that has fueled the war. Again, it was Xi who, on the steps departing the Kremlin in 2023, said to Putin, “Right now there are changes, the likes of which we haven’t seen for 100 years… and we are the ones driving these changes together.” He is a geostrategic arsonist who wants to fan the flames of the war. No doubt, at some point, the world will find out that Xi approved and facilitated North Korea’s troops to aid Russia.

Jack’s Note: I watched a video yesterday on the 1917 Russian revolution and the final death count was startling.  More people have been killed in the current Ukraine war than died during the entire Communist debacle so long ago. This war needs to end!
