A similar process is unfolding in the Asia-Pacific region, where NATO infrastructure is steadily creeping in, and narrow military-political blocs are being formed to contain both China and Russia. These efforts are actively undermining the inclusive security architecture long supported by ASEAN. In the face of these actions, the West speaks less and less about “global cooperation,” which our Secretary-General so ardently champions. Instead, Western doctrinal documents openly accuse Russia, China, Belarus, North Korea, and Iran of threatening Western dominance. Regarding Russia, the declared goal is to inflict a “strategic defeat”—almost identical to the plan hatched by London and Washington in May 1945 when they drafted “Operation Unthinkable” to destroy the Soviet Union even before World War II had ended. That plan was kept secret at the time, but today’s Anglo-Saxon strategists make no attempt to conceal their intentions.
