Spawned by the Cold War, NATOs existence was justified by Soviet threats to Western Europe. That raison dêtre is long gone with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. Still NATO globalized relentlessly, moving from defensive to offensive under pretexts of humanitarianism, starting with Yugoslavia, then East Africa, Afghanistan, and most recently Libya, acting as an arm of the Pentagon. The danger to global equilibrium is a growing NATO being expanded further by American and British ambitions into a monster military force of world proportions, way beyond any Atlantic or European alliance. NATO expansion, intrusive military hardware, such as cyber technology/interference and the murderous capacity of drones is threatening North/South peace. The creeping NATO expansion into Asia, the attempt to surround Russia, China and others can only end badly for the billions of human beings involved. The recent mini-US occupation of Australia, the interference in the ASEAN countries by US arms dealers and naval forces, the menacing presence of US aircraft carriers in the Indian Ocean, the South China Sea and the Strait of Malacca should remind historians of just why the Japanese considered it necessary to attack Pearl Harbor to end the US naval strangle hold imposed upon them.NATO as it expands today is absolutely not what the world of struggling economies and deprived populations require. It is nothing, but a negative force. "I hope this book will be read by very, very many who can turn this morbid fascination with violence into constructive conflict resolution." Johan GALTUNG, Professor Emeritus of Peace Studies and Sociology at the University of Oslo "Mahdi Darius Nazemroayas prolific writings give us a comprehensive understanding of the character of the military thrust and its all out, no holds barred STRATEGIC plans and moves to invade, occupy and plunder the resources of nations, inflict unprecedented barbaric acts on the civil populations. He is one the prescient thinkers and writers in contemporary times who deserves to be read and acted upon by people with a conscience and concern for humanitys future".VISHNU BHAGWAT, Admiral and Chief of the Naval Staff of India (1996-1998): Mumbai, India. "This book is a must read for those committed to reversing the tide of war and imperial conquest by the worlds foremost military machine". MICHEL CHOSSUDOVSKY, Professor Emeritus
