Back at about 23:45 on the evening of May 7, 1999, five precision joint guided attack bombs suddenly hit the Chinese Embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia at No. 3 Yinghua Road, the capital of Belgrade (now the capital of Serbia).
The culprit behind this serious provocation was NATO, which fired a bomb from a B-2 stealth bomber that destroyed the Chinese embassy and caused heavy casualties.
You must know that embassies abroad are equivalent to the territory of the country in which they are stationed, which is sacred and inviolable, and NATO brazenly dropped precision-guided bombs on the Chinese embassy, which is a blatant declaration of war on us.
Who gave it the courage to bomb the embassy of a P5 country? Who is it courageous to blow up the embassies of countries that possess nuclear weapons? Who gave it the courage to flaunt its might on the territory of a sovereign and independent State?
Here, it is necessary to take a look at the true face of NATO to understand its core essence of madness and crime.
As we know, NATO is not a country, but a military alliance, founded on April 4, 1949 in Washington, D.C., the full name is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the initial founding members of 12 countries, including the United States, Britain, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Canada, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Portugal, Italy, the scope of the defense area is mainly concentrated in the European region on both sides of the North Atlantic and North America.
Given that NATO was founded shortly after the end of World War II, European countries should carry out post-war reconstruction as soon as possible, but the reason why they still chose to unite into a military alliance was mainly based on British Prime Minister Winston Churchill's Iron Curtain speech in the United States, which opened the prelude to the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, and curbed the Soviet Union's further expansion of its sphere of influence in Europe for the sake of ideological struggle.
Later, after the establishment of the Warsaw Pact led by the Soviet Union in 1955, the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union formally formed a confrontation between NATO and the Warsaw Pact.
During this period, NATO has been expanding its membership, competing strongly with the Warsaw Pact, trying to suppress the Soviet Union, and finally took thirty or forty years to successfully drag the Soviet Union down.
The collapse of the Soviet Union marked the official end of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union.
Theoretically, the Soviet Union did not exist, and NATO had no-for-tat target, and it should also be dissolved on the spot with the collapse of the Soviet Union, but the fact is that NATO not only did not dissolve, but also continued to expand.
Because before the collapse of the Soviet Union, NATO had only 16 full members, namely the United States, Britain, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Canada, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Germany, and Spain.
Now, 32 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, NATO has roughly doubled in size to 31, with 15 new members: Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Finland.
Coupled with Sweden's membership being stuck by Turkey and Hungary, Ukraine has also submitted an application for accession, and these two countries will largely turn positive in the future, when NATO will have 33 members, which is still in a state of uncapped.
Including Moldova and Georgia, they may be potential future members of NATO.
In Europe today, there are very few countries that have not joined NATO:
- Switzerland, Ireland, Austria are three permanently neutral countries and will not join NATO;
- Serbia has been bombed by NATO and will not join NATO;
- Bosnia and Herzegovina has Republika Srpska inside and will follow in Serbia's footsteps;
- Belarus and Russia have become fierce enemies of NATO and will not join;
- Sweden and Ukraine are on their way to NATO;
- The Vatican, Monaco, Andorra, Malta, San Marino, and Liechtenstein are all pocket states and there is no need to join;
We found that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, there were former Warsaw Pact members such as Poland, Albania and Bulgaria, as well as former Soviet republics such as Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, all of which were attracted to their arms by the United States, Europe and the West, and now Europe is rapidly evolving towards NATOIZATION.
At this time, we will definitely be thinking, the only enemy of the Soviet Union has disappeared, NATO still absorbs so many members, what do we want to do?
The answer lies in the United States.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the global bipolar pattern became a situation in which the United States was superpowered, and the United States became the only superpower as it wished, but at this time the United States was not at ease with its hegemonic status, because the Soviet Union collapsed and a Russia was born.
Russia is the main successor country of the Soviet Union, inheriting most of the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons and nuclear technology, inheriting the Soviet Union's industrial system, inheriting the Soviet Union's resources, especially in the military field of nuclear weapons, and forcefully crushing the United States, which is intolerable to the White House.
It is precisely based on Russia's strong military deterrence that the United States fears that Moscow will pose an unprecedented threat to US hegemony.
How can this concern be addressed?
The United States has thought of a trick to kill people with a knife - strategic eastward expansion of Russia.
After all, Russia's political center and industrial center are on the European border, and the United States has constantly played up Russia's military threat, instilling in European allies the impression that Russia is a fierce enemy, thereby forming Russophobic sentiment in Europe to pave the way for its strategic eastward expansion.
In this way, under the vigorous solicitation and instigation of the United States, Russia's western neighbors have almost all been pulled into the circle of NATO, and NATO members in Europe have successfully become the forward sentinels of the United States monitoring Russia, keeping an eye on Moscow all the time, so that NATO's sphere of influence directly touches Russia's doorstep, so that Russia's strategic space is almost squeezed, which was unimaginable in the Soviet Union.
It is also this strategy that directly led to the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
To some extent, NATO is the most loyal strategic tool for the United States to restrain Russia and maintain its own hegemony.
In addition, NATO has another role - military thugs.
If we look at the large-scale wars that have taken place around the world in the past three decades, almost all of them have NATO.
In 1991, the United States led NATO to launch the Gulf War, violently beating Saddam Hussein's government forces in Iraq and forcing him to withdraw from Kuwait; In 1999, the United States led NATO to launch the Kosovo War, dismembering the Republic of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia; In 2001, the United States led NATO to launch the war in Afghanistan, overthrowing Taliban dominance; In 2003, with a bottle of "washing powder", the United States led NATO to launch the Iraq War and overthrow Iraqi President Saddam Hussein; In 2011, the United States led NATO in the Libyan war, overthrowing Libyan chief Muammar Gaddafi; In the Syrian civil war in 2011, the US-led NATO once again intervened and participated in air strikes...
Which of these wars was authorized by the UN Security Council? Neither, all illegal military operations.
NATO claims to be a defensive military alliance that will only focus on security matters on both sides of the North Atlantic, but in fact it has provoked wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria in the Middle East, Libya in Africa, and Serbia in the Mediterranean region of southeastern Europe.
Can such an organization still be considered a defensive military alliance?
No, NATO has evolved into an executioner with hands stained with the blood of innocent lives.
