NATO’s Surreal World

Opinion piece by By Sarwar A. Kashmeri

Has the Atlantic alliance outlived its usefulness? The British journalist and writer Geoffrey Wheatcroft raised that question in an opinion article (“Who needs NATO?,” June 16) that drew a strong reaction from Ivo H. Daalder, the U.S. permanent representative to NATO, who argued that the alliance is more needed than ever (Counterpoint, June 18-19). Sarwar Kashmeri, a senior fellow in the Atlantic Council’s International Security Program and the author of “NATO 2.0: Reboot or Delete?,” joins the debate.

Sarwar's Article Contributions to Huffpost

A complete collection of his articles and opinion pieces

The last time a British prime minister endorsed an American president’s plans for military intervention, it resulted in the US invasion of Iraq – one of the worst foreign policy blunders in recent American history. …That is why last week’s endorsement by David Cameron of a warning by Barack Obama that even the threat of chemical weapons by Syria could trigger a military intervention should be viewed with alarm on both sides of the Atlantic…   Read this and much more from Sarwar at The Guardian.

September 12th 9:30 AM EDT – Shan Weijian – The Business of America and China is Business

Is the current torrent of negative public opinions and sentiments against China shaped by reasoning, facts, or logic, or by simple repeated assertations (existential threat, technology theft, genocide, forced labor, oppression, aggression … ) by politicians and the media resulting in repeated affirmation and dissemination to a receptive audience? In this toxic environment opinion polls are like checking if the temperature of a pot is rising. The rising spiral of toxicity now endangers the most consequential relationship –that between the United States and China–the two largest economies in the world.

Is the current torrent of negative public opinions and sentiments against China shaped by reasoning, facts, or logic, or by simple repeated assertations? Deng Xiaoping embarked the nation on a market-oriented reform 45 years ago. Since then, China’s economy has experienced non-stop growth. Just in this century, its GDP has grown by about 15 times. It’s now the largest economy in the world by purchasing power and the second largest in dollar terms. It is also the largest trading nation in the world, being the largest trading partner with more than 140 countries, out of a total of about 190. Whereas every market economy goes through economic cycles, China has miraculously been spared of a recession in 45 years. Its economy has noticeably slowed and the market sentiment has sapped. Is it heading into one now?

A contrarian opinion from a noted observer of the Ecole de Guerre Economique. “Ask Chinese citizens whether they are satisfied with their country’s economy and you get a very different response from what one would get if one were to ask an American or European about their own country’s economy, he says.
