    Thanks for sharing this.

    NATO in reality is far weaker than the SCO in all direct military comparisons. Apart from the already weakened, debt-burdened and militarily wildly overstretched US, the only significant land military power NATO has is medium-sized Turkiye. The SCO, in contrast, can boast of four major thermonuclear military powers all of which have formidable land armies — China, Russia, India and Iran. Turkiye itself, as I have noted, now appears happier associating with the SCO than with NATO.

    That’s a very interesting perspective; not considered a comparison of the SCO with NATO before, with that framing.

    If one hasn’t seen it already, Vijay Prashad on Hyperimperialism: US-NATO’s Dangerous and Decadent New Stage is a good watch:
