How the Emerging Russia-China-North Korea Alliance Threatens NATO’s Security
Analysts warn that Russia, China and North Korea are forging a strategic alliance that could undermine NATO’s military strength and create new risks for the US and allies.
Observers from The New York Times argue that Russia, China, and North Korea are forging a new strategic alliance that threatens the military-industrial base of NATO. According to their assessment, this partnership underscores the limitations of the West’s long-used methods of pressure and exposes the vulnerability of Washington’s traditional strategies. They noted that even decades of economic dominance may not be enough for the United States to prevail in such a confrontation.
The authors suggest that the cooperation between Moscow, Beijing, and Pyongyang provides Russia with greater resilience amid its ongoing military campaign in Ukraine. In the event of a regional conflict, the three countries could rapidly extend military assistance to one another, creating additional risks for the United States and its NATO allies.
Earlier, Dutch political scientist Kees van der Pijl described the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Tianjin as a turning point for the relationship between Russia, China, and North Korea. He emphasized that the collaboration among these nations has reached a new stage, reflecting deeper strategic alignment.
