NATO Chief Warns of Chilling Prospect: China and Russia Could Launch Coordinated Global Attacks

 

In a stark warning to Western nations, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has raised the alarming possibility of simultaneous military offensives by China and Russia, warning that such coordination could spark the next global conflict and draw NATO into a full-scale war.

 

Speaking to The New York Times, Rutte suggested that Beijing might use an invasion of Taiwan as the trigger point, while calling on Moscow to distract NATO by launching an assault in Europe. "Let's not be naïve about this," he said. "If Xi Jinping would attack Taiwan, he would first make sure that he makes a call to his very junior partner in all of this, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, residing in Moscow, and telling him, 'Hey, I'm going to do this, and I need you to keep them busy in Europe by attacking NATO territory.'"

Rutte believes this coordinated aggression could be a likely scenario, urging NATO members to confront it with two key strategies. "One is that NATO, collectively, being so strong that the Russians will never do this," he stated. "And second, working together with the Indo-Pacific – something President [Donald] Trump is very much promoting, because we have this close interconnectedness, working together on defence industry, innovation between NATO and the Indo-Pacific."

His warning comes amid growing fears in the West that Russia is eyeing NATO’s eastern flank, particularly the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, as part of a broader strategy to destabilize the alliance while supporting global autocracies. Rutte also raised concern over Russia’s rapidly escalating weapons production. “Russia is producing three times as much ammunition in three months as the whole of NATO is doing in a year,” he noted, describing the pace as “unsustainable” but alarming nonetheless.

 

He pointed to increasing collaboration among autocratic states — Russia, North Korea, China, and Iran — as evidence that the line dividing the Indo-Pacific and the Atlantic is fading fast. Their combined efforts in what Rutte called an "unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine" reflect growing global tensions and the need for a unified strategic front.

 

In response to these mounting threats, NATO leaders convened for an emergency summit in The Hague this June. One major outcome was the reaffirmation of the alliance's core principle of collective defence — a commitment that had been in question, particularly by former U.S. President Donald Trump. The summit also produced a historic pledge by all member nations to raise defence spending to 5% of GDP by 2035.

 

Sir Keir Starmer, the UK’s Prime Minister, hailed the decision as a vital turning point for European security. “This is the moment to unite, for Europe to make a fundamental shift in its posture,” Starmer said. “The commitment to 5% will make the alliance stronger, fairer and more lethal than ever. This includes military spending as well as vital investments in our security and resilience, like protecting our cyber security and our energy networks.”

 

Starmer described the NATO summit as having sent a “decisive message to aggressors,” though notably, the joint communique stopped short of explicitly condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine or mentioning Ukraine’s future membership in NATO. Instead, Ukraine was referenced only in relation to defence spending: “Allies reaffirm their enduring sovereign commitments to provide support to Ukraine, whose security contributes to ours, and, to this end, will include direct contributions towards Ukraine’s defence and its defence industry when calculating Allies’ defence spending.”

 

Despite the omission of explicit condemnation, NATO's Secretary-General welcomed the declaration. “This is a significant commitment in response to significant threats to our security,” Rutte said. “All allies are united in understanding that we need to step up to stay safe and they are acting on it.”

More warmongering from the globalists. Gotta keep those arms producers in business or funding for all US politicians dries up.

 

Rutte is a tool of the WEF. Starmer is just a tool.

Nah.  The Russkies (and Hamas) didn't attack on his watch.  Just on Obama's and then Biden's.

Only one way to stop this nonsense, make Russia pay through the (bloody) nose by upping military aid to Ukraine, so that they never try it again, and second, let China have Taiwan, IMO it was always theirs, but with the condition that they sign an iron-clad agreement to respect ALL other present world-wide boundaries in the future.

He knows that if you keep simultaneously poking a bear and a dragon they may both snap at you.

 

Yet he and his buddies keep doing it.
Make no mistake: it's in a coordinated manner.

 

Are they daft?

Before they do us great harm, send them for psychiatric examination.

Also include Putin for analysis as a psychopath, Xi for analysis as a fellow with a poor childhood who thinks Taiwan is a rebellious province, 'Fat Boy' in North Korea as another psychopath, and the Ayatollah Khameini as a religious nutjob.

Yes, steady support of Ukraine to fight the Nazi-wannabe Putin.  IMO, Taiwan is not a province of China.  Communists do not honor agreements.
