Prospect of a Potential NATO Confrontation with Russia and China

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The escalating possibility of confrontation between the world’s Eastern and Western powers, particularly after the Russia-Ukraine war, along with the consolidation of China’s narrative of itself as the largest developing country with the capacity to lead the Global South, has become a threatening issue for the West, led by America and Europe. In this context, Mark Rutte, the Secretary-General of NATO, recently spoke at a press conference in Berlin about the necessity of European military modernization and called for “changing defense postures” in line with the increasing international military threats.

Shanghai Summit, New Global Order, and Iran’s Position

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The 25th Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit in Tianjin, China, can be considered one of the most significant events in recent years in terms of global power dynamics. Through its impressive hosting and the announcement of various economic and political initiatives, China attempted to present an image of a gradual transition from the West-centric financial order. The presence of leaders from Russia, India, and Central Asian countries also demonstrated that the idea of multipolarity is no longer merely a slogan but is being pursued through economic and institutional cooperation. The coincidence of the Shanghai Summit with the military parade in Beijing commemorating the 80th anniversary of China’s victory over Japan also highlighted the integration of the “hard power–soft power” strategy on the international stage.

India’s Diplomatic Pivot from Washington to Beijing and Moscow

India’s Diplomatic Pivot from Washington to Beijing and Moscow

Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international affairs analyst stated that the United States’ imposition of 50% tariffs on Indian export goods has not only severely impacted the economic relations between the two countries but has also opened a new path in New Delhi’s foreign policy. While Washington has justified this move as “punishing” India for purchasing oil from Russia, the Narendra Modi government has called it unfair and emphasized the necessity of ensuring its country’s energy security. However, India’s reaction has not been limited to mere verbal statements; Modi’s visit to China and participation in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit can practically be assessed as a strategic pivot towards the East. Simultaneously, diplomatic exchanges among the three Asian powers have accelerated: China’s Foreign Minister visited New Delhi, his Indian counterpart went to Moscow, and Modi, in his meeting with Beijing’s leaders, sent a clear message of India’s desire for closer cooperation with Russia and China. In this context, the Indian Prime Minister’s lack of response to several phone calls from Trump suggests that New Delhi is redefining its foreign policy priorities in response to Washington’s pressure. Many analysts believe that India’s recent actions are not merely short-term reactions but rather a sign of a new balance of power forming in Asia’s equations.

He added: The current tensions and crisis-making between the United States and China will continue for at least a 25-year period in the future, and the world is moving towards a dangerous military confrontation.
