The declaration made by NATO, at its summit in the Hague in June this year, indicates that the governments that participate in the North Atlantic Council are stepping up their preparations for war.
In the declaration, they committed to raising their annual spending on “core defence requirements as well as defence-and security-related” spending to 5% of GDP by 2035. This will entail a huge rise in military expenditure for NATO members.
Prior to the NATO summit, an informative dossier on NATO was published by the Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, in collaboration with No Cold War and Zetkin Forum for Social Research. This valuable dossier titled “NATO: The most dangerous organisation on earth” can be read/downloaded from here: https://thetricontinental.org/dossier-nato-the-most-dangerous-organisation/.
In this short No Cold War Perspectives video, Professor Biljana Vankovska, who assisted with the production of the dossier, explores further the question of whether NATO is the most dangerous organization on earth and how it acts as an instrument of the US.
Biljana Vankovska is a university professor from Macedonia, who teaches international relations and peace studies. She is a member of the international No Cold War collective and a board member of the Transnational Foundation for Peace and Future Research.
