This all reminds of something...

🔴 It becomes clear why several Western media simultaneously started talking about #NATO collapse.

🔹The Guardian writes about the deep cracks splitting the Alliance, and Madrid will not heal them, the author believes.
"Jens Stoltenberg, Nato’s inoffensive secretary general, will struggle to repair these fissures, but..."

🔹Chinese Global Times draws attention that the position of #Turkey and #Croatia on Finland and Sweden joining NATO splits the Alliance.

🔹The Foreign Policy review is the most detailed and interesting.
NATO needs an overhaul — the alliance has become clumsy and its structure is too intricate
❗️14 years ago, the alliance’s top-secret threat assessment body, MC 161, was explicitly prohibited by its political masters from even considering any military danger from Russia in its scenarios. Moreover, the pressure came not only from pro-Russian Germany but also from US
▪️The Kremlin, the conventional wisdom insisted, was considered partner, not an enemy (and this is after the war in Georgia and the annexation of Crimea!).
🇵🇱🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹As a result, NATO’s most vulnerable members — #Poland and the Baltic states of #Estonia, #Latvia, and #Lithuania — remained second-class allies.
▪️30-strong alliance is too unwieldy.
In military terms, only a handful of members matter — above all, the US — but in political terms, even little Luxembourg and Iceland get a voice.
▪️As a result, the political divides are huge.
