EE UU intends to reorient the OTAN to defend the frontier democracies in China | International

The first visit to Brussels by the Secretary of State of the EEU, Antony Blinken, took place this March in a meeting of the OTAN has made a major defense of the democratic systems, erosive during the last 20 years. Washington wants Europe’s support for planting an authoritarian offensive that has previously been led by the USSR and now has obedience to all of China’s designations. The new orientation of the OTAN is accompanied by the enthusiastic support of the United Kingdom of Canada, but provokes serious reticence on the part of European allies, including Germany and Spain.

“We all know that [la OTAN] is an initiative that groups voluntarily 30 countries, with cases 1,000 million residents, in turn to the shared values ​​of democracy, freedom, aperture and international law that guarantees Pacific conviction “, Blinken defended in his first visit as secretary de Estado a la sede de la OTAN en Bruselas. “We are giving a fortune to the autocracies that are giving a direct return to the democracies,” added the secretary of state. “The main reason is to demonstrate that democracies are more apt to offer to the people they need and want,” he said.

Blinken assists in the meeting of OTAN Exterior Ministers that celebrates this March and Wednesday; and has the opportunity to meet with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and with the Vice-President of the Commission and Head of European Diplomacy, Josep Borrell. In the presence of the Secretary of State in Brussels, the participation of the President of the European Union, Joe Biden, in the European summit, which celebrates the 27 societies of the European Union in video conferencing

The head of the diplomacy of the United States is looking for the support of the OTAN and the European Union for a geoestrategy of the XXI base based on the hyper-leadership and rivalry between the EU and China. During the Donald Trump stage in the White House (2017-2020) this G-2 era is clear, but Europe prefers to maintain its term medium, since the rupture of Washington with the vigorous international order.

The Biden Legion has the ability to reconstruct the transatlantic relationship, including, amplifying other parts of the planet with political and legal systems similar to those of EE UU and UE. The Secretary-General of the OTAN, Jens Stoltenberg, has ensured during a televised dialogue with Blinken that “advocating the association with similar democracies is a form of protecting an international order based on norms”. The leader of the OTAN is based in Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Korea as he travels with those who are destined to join a democratic democracy.

Blinken signed during this dialogue, moderated by Carnegie Europe Director Rosa Balfour: “The OTAN allies account for 50% of global GDP, 50% of the military power, and together we can mobilize much innovation and technology to help with the consequences and the challenges that plant the ascent of China ”.

But between European allies there is no major consensus to sum up this new war-torn species, which is against Beijing and not against Moscow. For countries like Germany, the Asian giant is a vital commercial society. For the Baltic and Central European countries of the East, the principal state is based in Russia and prefers that the OTAN be concentrated in the frontier of this ancient country. Spain, according to diplomatic sources, is also one of the parties to consider in China “a more systematic and military system”.

Aun asi, the risk of roses with China not to increase. This month, the EU Council approved unanimously the first sanctions against China since the 1989 clashes over reprisals in Tiananmen Square in Beijing.

At the moment there are tensions, relations between the EU and China are not going to improve. Brussels represents the entry of the Asian giant in the World Trade Organization with a status and favorable conditions to its exporting potential. And in the end of this year, thanks in part to the impetus of Angela Merkel, the EU endorsed with China an agreement to liberalize inversions that could complicate the imposition of sanctions on lunches that, according to Brussels, Xi Jinping against the Uighur minority in the Xinjiang region.

In the European Commission, some voices interpret that “sanctions mark the beginning of a new era”. And it comes as a test of “speed and timeliness” with Pekin’s response to a decision that considers aggravation and insanity as internal. The Chinese government has immediately adopted its proposed sanctions against the European Parliament by various members of the European Parliament.

However, diplomatic missions of various European societies will temper the impact of any sanctions that the Chinese regime will not impose on its actual action in a case of human rights violations. They point out that “we are not a point of inflection, we are a point of our relations with both parties”.

Afghanistan’s dudosa retreated May 1

The meeting of OTAN’s Exterior Ministers, attended by Antony Blinken’s Prime Minister, did not mention all the doubts about the presence of the Alliance in Afghanistan, but it was clear that the withdrawal of EE UU on May 1 descartada. “Blinken did not specify what he wanted to do, but it is quite clear that here on May 1 there is no material time to organize the logistics of a retreat,” diplomatic sources said. The Donald Trump administration has launched an agreement with the Taliban to withdraw the troop numbers on May 1. The weight will increase the viability of the Atlantic Alliance’s operations (built as the 2015 Resolution Support Mission).
