Atlantic Alliance will continue targeting Russia and China until at least 2030.
Written by Ahmed Adel, Cairo-based geopolitics and political economy researcher
The new NATO 2030 Strategic Concept indicates a disturbing change in the Alliance’s strategic orientation. As a result, provocations towards Moscow, as well as Beijing, are escalating, especially after the former was labelled by NATO as “the most significant and direct threat to Allies’ security and to peace and stability in the Euro-Atlantic area.” Under this context, the Atlantic Alliance urged member states to allocate more resources for military purposes, as well as to increase the rapid reaction forces on its Eastern European front from 40,000 troops to a staggering 300,000. This is in addition to escalations in the South China Sea.
NATO’s Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg, explained that, unlike the previous document of the same title, which was adopted in Lisbon in 2010, there are no longer any guidelines on cooperation with Moscow, not even in the areas of arms control, the fight against terrorism or drug trafficking. Relations with Russia are continuously deteriorating as the West instigates less cooperation and more conflict.
The behaviour of NATO’s main members – the US and the United Kingdom, as well as Germany and France, in Ukraine, but also in the Caucasus and Central Asia, signify that Russia is the most direct threat to Western hegemony despite China’s massive economic rise. Therefore, there is nothing epochal about the positioning on NATO’s eastern borders since it is a logical epilogue of a process that has been ongoing since at least 2014. Arguments can be made though that this process began with the Syrian War in 2011, or perhaps even as early as 2008 with the NATO-instigated Russo-Georgia War.
The change in strategic orientation, projected in the medium term, also concerns China’s relations with the West and Russia. The tightening of relations between China and Russia is contrary to the interests of the Alliance because, according to NATO, “China seeks to undermine the current world order by controlling global logistics and its economy,” hence NATO’s strengthening of relations with its Asia-Pacific partners.
It is also for this reason that the US encouraged the dismantling of the EU-China investment agreement, openly supports protesters in Hong Kong and repeats claims of a Chinese-perpetrated genocide against the Uyghurs, escalates tensions in the South China Sea, and helped dismantle the 17 + 1 format, which in practice can no longer function. This is also in addition to Nancy Pelosi’s recent visit to Taipei and the establishment of the AUKUS alliance.
For the most part, in NATO’s new strategic orientation, China could arguably be heading towards a similar situation to that of Russia in 2014. For NATO strategists, China’s response to Pelosi’s visit, manifested by military and naval exercises in the South China Sea, is excessive. They are of this view because China exposed how easily Taiwan could be isolated from the outside world, with the US only able to watch on.
NATO is moving very explicitly and in a targeted manner against China. Perhaps such a step was induced or accelerated by Beijing’s refusal to align itself with the West’s anti-Russian sanctions and condemnation of the demilitarisation of Ukraine.
Proceeding with such provocations and escalations is also very risky for NATO though. A NATO-instigated war against China, just as the Alliance left Russia no choice but to demilitarise Ukraine to ensure its own national security, would reshape the world much faster and fundamentally than what has already occurred due to the war in Eastern Europe. The attempted isolation of Russia not only failed, but in fact accelerated the changing of the global geopolitical and economic system away from Western hegemony.
As China is the largest industrial power in today’s world, as well as a massive market for consumer goods and a key investor and creditor in numerous regions, without a stable China, there is no global stability. If the Alliance was not able to achieve its goal in Ukraine, a region where several NATO members directly border Russia too, there is little prospect that it can make any major achievement on the Asian front.
If the Alliance is not capable of coping with a direct confrontation with Russia in Europe, it raises the question on how it will be able to cope with a direct confrontation on two fronts against a potential Russian-Chinese coalition. NATO’s anti-Chinese and anti-Russian strategic commitment, which has been framed until at least 2030, is a dangerous provocation, and not only for the targeted countries. The West’s provocations are a danger to the entire world as it can dramatically affect global stability and the quality of life of everyday citizens, hence why the NATO 2030 Strategic Concept is alarming.

Iceage is coming time for zero-start reset again. Plenty eggs & sperms in storage to restart in next world summer when Anunnaki return from time-looping.
The “west ” -aka USA is run by totally insane worshippers of Zionism who will survive in the USA but not “Joe Public USA ” who wont be down nuke shelters underneath large mountains for them its 1950,s advise — “Duck & Cover ” and “remember to hide under the stairs and close your curtains ” .
Its time the USA had a real Revolution !
Dumping TEA chest in the sea isn’t going to do it this time.
Ukraine proof that NATO as impotent as senile Jens
NATO knows its days are counted. By 2027, China’s dominance will be obvious to all. NATO seems to hope on a slight chance for a better outcome by provoking the start of hostilities before then.
It’s the year of 2030. China is now the biggest economy in the world. Companies need and must be in that market in order to succeed, they need to play nice with China and their allies. The US have no leverage to say anything because it’s no longer the leading economy and nobody will listen. Russia has recovered from the sanctions and there are no more ways to twist Russia’s arm as they proved to not work. The Middle-East, Latin America and Africa are now closer and closer to Russia and China. I see a civil war in the USA coming as part of the nation decline process. The EU block will dissolve.
China has had the largest economy for 20 years—I am not so stupid as to recognize bourgeoise measures–nominal or PPP—GDP…..these neglect grey economic activity, so not distinguish between use/exchange value, balance of trade etc. the French economist Jacque Sapir demonstrates the most important economy today–Russia…yes USA produces more dildos—but only important for lgbt amerika
NATO has many concepts but can only apply 1—lgbt
Nato is bad for everyone, it defends global british crown corporation. Not even the US is so bad, it is just still under the british trade deals and secret colonialism. Germany, the same after ww2.. Theres no one else but the global british crown/vatican subjugating everyone. Evil bastards.
There a solution to the NATO problem and it is 30 years overdue.
The so called hyper power with its unilateral policies or rather crimes has lost years ago, due to exceptional arrogance and incompetence, hubris and extreme corruption of all facets of life in the swamp.
As I sit at my computer and look around the room, I notice that 90% of what I own was made in China. If war with China breaks out where will we get anything? You just can’t magically wave industry into existence. It takes years. Goods will instantly become scarce. Inflation would be in the triple digits.
We need rid of NATO asap
Ah, the naivety of the final paragraph! No, dear author, NATO won’t confront directly Russia and China by 2030, they know very well they won’t cope. They’ll only THREATEN with military action, but won’t go ahead with open war.
The USA has finally realized that open wars aren’t as cost effective for it, as they were in the past, therefore it’s changed strategy. It’s using terrorist actions (like Israel that killed Suleimani or regularly explodes strategic assets making it look like “accident’), mass surveillance and cyber-terrorism. By distributing worldwide its CIA-controled tools like YouTube, Twitter, Wikipedia, etc, it subverts the targeted population and rewrites history. And by presenting CIA-created false “facts” to politicians and key figures of the targeted country, it makes them afraid of a nonexistant threat and takes control of the country easily. Key figures that are doubtful or see through the USA’s tricks are discredited or eliminated.
Of course they deem open war necessary sometimes, but they’ll make the targeted countries fight on their behalf. Right now, India is such a target, and its citizens aren’t even aware of it.
