> The question is not #NATO by itself. The question is.. security.. the United States government unilaterally walked out of the #IntermediateNuclearForcesTreaty, the #INFTreaty. Mr. #Putin and the Chinese government have said that they fear the placement of mid-level — these intermediate nuclear missiles near the #Russian and #Chinese border. ..they feared that there would be these missiles placed in #Ukraine or in #Taiwan

> Vijay Prashad, director of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, says the “bellicose” tone out of Washington is not because the U.S. sees China as a military threat, but because China threatens U.S. dominance in the scientific, technological and diplomatic spheres. “It’s very chilling what the U.S. government is doing in ramping up this cold war,” says #Prashad.

The very fact that you know the flag coloring of #Ukraine but have no idea what the flag of #Yemen.. the flag of #Palestine.. the flag of the #Congo.. the #flag of #Iraq looks like,

> the question of NATO moving eastward is not the primary issue, because, after all, in 2004, #SergeyLavrov, who continues to be the foreign minister, and Mr. #Putin, who was even then the president, welcomed the Baltic states and other countries joining NATO. They joined NATO in 2004. The question is not #NATO by itself. The question is a sense of security.

> The United States government has not signed the international laws of the seas, and yet it prosecutes so-called freedom of navigation missions against not only #China in the #SouthChinaSea, using this U.N. Charter, which it’s not a signatory of, but it has been provoking clashes with #Russia in the #BlackSea, in the #BalticSea and in the #ArcticSea, again, using these so-called #FreedomOfNavigation missions.
