NATO Ramps Up Rhetoric Against China & Russia. Is Biden Leading the U.S. into a New Cold War?

China says NATO is adopting a “Cold War mentality” after the military alliance singled out China and Russia for criticism during a summit in Brussels. In its final communiqué, NATO leaders said, “China’s stated ambitions and assertive behavior present systemic challenges to the rules-based international order.” NATO leaders also criticized Russia and called on Moscow to withdraw troops from Ukraine, Georgia and the Republic of Moldova. Stephen Wertheim, a historian of U.S. foreign policy, says he is concerned that the Biden administration is “moving toward a quite hostile posture toward China and Russia simultaneously.” He also says policymakers need to urgently reevaluate the purpose of NATO, which he says could fuel greater conflict. “Is that really what the American people need for the rest of the 21st century?” he asks.

Withdraw the American and NATO troops in Africa, don't be hypocrites!!!

G7 is hardly the international order ( China and India alone represent almost half of the world )

How many wars have the US and NATO started in the past 70 years (since the PRC was born) and how many wars has China started in the same periods. Sure, they would be concern because China have more nuclear weapons. But they're not concerned because China is a thread, only because they can no longer bully China like they have once invaded China in the early 1900's. How can anyone blame China for building more nuclear weapons when China is surrounded by the US with its bases. They have the rights to defend their country.

Macron: last time I checked the map of the North Atlantic, I didn’t find China there...
US: did I say a lapdog could talk?
NATO: alright, we condemn China.

The imperial language is a giveaway like "Rules Based" Order. This means that countries have to follow our "rules" and not international law based on the United Nations.
