Ron Paul Liberty Report - Weekly Update --- NATO‘s Great New Idea: ‘Let’s Start A War With China!’ Aired: 2023-05-09 Duration: 04:56 === NATO's Neocon Legacy (03:25) === [00:00:00] Hello everybody and thank you for tuning in to the weekly report. [00:00:05] NATO's great new idea. [00:00:07] Let's start a war with China. [00:00:11] NATO's post-Cold War history is that of an organization far past its sell-by date. [00:00:19] Desperate for a mission after the end of the Warsaw Pact, NATO in the late 1990s decided that it would become the muscle behind the militarization of human rights under the Clinton administration. [00:00:34] Gone was the threat of global communism, which was used to justify NATO's 40-year run, so NATO reimagined itself as a band of armed Atlanticist superheroes. [00:00:48] Wherever there was an injustice, as defined by Washington's neocons, NATO was ready with guns and bombs. [00:00:57] The U.S. military-industrial complex could not have been happier. [00:01:02] All the Beltway think tanks they lavishly fund finally hit on a sure winner to keep the money pipeline falling. [00:01:12] It was always about money, not security. [00:01:16] The test run for NATO as human rights superheroes was Yugoslavia in 1999. [00:01:23] To everybody but NATO and its neocon handlers in DC and many European capitals, it was a horrific, unjustified disaster. [00:01:34] 78 days of bombing a country that did not threaten NATO left many hundreds of civilians dead, the infrastructure destroyed, and a legacy of uranium-tipped ammunition to poison the landscape for generations to come. [00:01:52] Just last week, tennis legend Novak Djugovich recalled what it felt like to flee his grandfather's home in the middle of the night as NATO bombs fell and destroyed it. [00:02:05] What a horror. [00:02:07] Then NATO got behind the overthrow of the Gaddafi government in Libya. [00:02:13] The corporate press regurgitated the neocon lies that bombing the country, killing its people, and overthrowing its government would solve all of Libya's human rights problems. [00:02:27] As could be predicted, NATO bombs did not solve Libya's problems, but made everything worse. [00:02:36] Chaos, civil war, terrorism, slave markets, crushing poverty. [00:02:42] No wonder Hillary Clinton, Obama, and the neocons don't want to talk about Libya these days. [00:02:50] After a series of failures longer than we have space for here, DC-controlled NATO in 2014 decided to go all in and target Russia itself for regime change. [00:03:05] First step was overthrowing the democratically elected Ukrainian government, which Victoria Newland and the rest of the neocons took care of. [00:03:15] Next was the eight years of massive NATO military assistance to Ukraine's coup government, with the intent of fighting Russia. === Nato's New Asia Office (01:30) === [00:03:25] Finally, it was the 2022 rejection of Russia's request to negotiate a European security agreement that would prevent NATO's armies circling its borders. [00:03:39] Despite the mainstream media and U.S. government propaganda, NATO has been about as successful in Ukraine as it was in Libya. [00:03:50] Hundreds of billions of dollars have been flushed away, with massive corruption documented by journalists like Seymour Hirsch and others. [00:04:00] The only difference this time is that NATO's target, Russia, has nuclear weapons and views this proxy war as vital to its very existence. [00:04:11] So now, despite its legacy of failure, NATO has decided to start a conflict with China, perhaps to take attention off its disaster in Ukraine. [00:04:22] Last week, NATO announced that it will open its first ever Asia office in Japan. [00:04:29] What next? [00:04:30] NATO membership for Taiwan? [00:04:33] Will Taiwan willingly serve as NATO's newest Ukraine, sacrificing itself to China in the name of blundering NATO's seemingly endless appetite for conflict? [00:04:46] We can only hope that America will elect a president in 2024 who will finally end NATO's deadly world tour.
