less than a week, NATO has unveiled its ambitions.
The Alliance has been enlisting one by one, and
more or less coercibly, all countries in Europe,
in the Middle East and Oceania in the open-ended
war in Afghanistan. Concurrently, on the pretext
of responding to an ostensible threat from Iran,
NATO is deploying an interceptor nuclear missile
system on Russia’s borders which overturns the
strategic balance with Moscow and calls into
question the principle of progressive nuclear
disarmament. Russia, on its part, feels directly
targeted and is taking urgent
measures (...)</span>

Cooperation Initiative on the West, plus the
Afghanistan-Pakistan conflict on the East, put
NATO in a position to encircle Iran. It is too
