SATISH SHARMA - not just Rotigraphy.: the North Atlantic Alliance has effectively declared itself a global force, claiming that threats to its security now exist almost everywhere, including by all means across the entirety of Eurasia and the seas surrounding it."

SERGEY LAVROV: "NATO was originally created to defend the territories of its member states. They promised us not to expand the alliance, yet they did. In 1997, we signed a special document. We saw NATO expanding, but we sought to minimise the damage to ourselves. We signed an agreement with NATO to the effect that they would not deploy permanent military forces on the territories of their new members, but they continued to do so, and these deployments are now at our borders. NATO declared itself a defensive alliance. However, it now claims that threats to it emanate from regions like the Indo-Pacific, the South China Sea, the Taiwan Strait, and other areas associated with China or parts of Russia (a significant portion of our territory is located there). NATO is creating mini-blocs, such as one that comprises the US, Japan, and South Korea, incorporating nuclear planning elements into its military projects with these countries. It has also established AUKUS comprising the US, Australia, and the UK. The nuclear submarine project involves technologies that should be subject to IAEA controls. The Americans are forming the Indo-Pacific Quad (Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and South Korea) and engaging in activities that disrupt Eurasian forms of cooperation, such as the security and cooperation architecture that has been built over decades around ASEAN. The Westerners are yanking out individual ASEAN members, urging them to join their small-sized bloc formats, and implementing NATO infrastructure in such formats. In other words, the North Atlantic Alliance has effectively declared itself a global force, claiming that threats to its security now exist almost everywhere, including by all means across the entirety of Eurasia and the seas surrounding it."
