NATO verkar inte nöja sig med att agera i Ukraina mot Ryssland, man tycks nu försöka agera mot dess allierade i Stilla havet också. Allt i i förmodat "självförsvar", som i Ukraina, får man väl förmoda.
"NATO is bolstering its presence in the Western Pacific by sending warships to more places, a move that risks stoking tensions with China, which is worried about the alliance’s growing influence in the region."
""This is a demonstration, above all, of our ability to project power anywhere,” said Rear Adm. Giancarlo Ciappina, the commander of the Cavour carrier strike group."
"NATO had been wary of confrontation with China, but tensions escalated this year when it called Beijing an enabler of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — an accusation China rejected. In 2022, NATO included China for the first time in its guiding strategy document, describing the country as a challenger to the organization’s "interests, security and values.”
China, in turn, says instability is a result of militaries from other regions operating near its shores. In July, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said NATO should "not create chaos in the Asia-Pacific after creating turmoil in Europe.”"
