NATO is seeking to bolster its partnerships in the Pacific to push back against China's global impact, specifically, the help it's providing Russia in the war with Ukraine.

The war in Ukraine has split Asian countries. While China has supported Russia, Japan and South Korea are sending weapons and aid to Ukraine.

These global alliances have forced NATO to shift from how it was founded 75 years ago, squarely focused on the Atlantic.

    There are more Chinese on our islands than their land now.

    The agreement that the United States made with Cuba in giving them their independence stated that no outside military could have bases on their territory. Any foreign basing would violate that agreement. It is not inconceivable that the US could declare war and take Cuba back as a territory now that there is a Chinese base.

    Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Australia and New Zealand might be the NATO Allied Forces in Asia-Pacific.
  • It's so exciting watching ww3 being set up over the last couple of years. Everyone is now squaring off and taking strategical war positions, lots of psyops these days as well its insane. Here we go into our crazy future.
