NATO’s 75th birthday is coming around soon, with celebrations planned for July of next year in Washington. Yet the organisation has a bit of a problem with the party and celebrations.

When people reach the ripe old age of 75, there is usually a tendency to slow down and take things easier; often there’s a lack of cohesion, sentences often aren’t completed, delusion and incompetence become more noticeable if not plain idiocy on a scale not previously seen. In some cases, relatives might even talk of assisted suicide to put the old bugger out of his misery, with some even as going as far to talk about being “brain dead”.

NATO’s 75th birthday is coming around soon, with celebrations planned for July of next year in Washington. Yet the organisation has a bit of a problem with the party and celebrations. What’s there to celebrate with Ukraine more or less a war that even die-hard Republicans in America admit is a war which cannot be won? 75 years old, NATO is looking more and more like an outdated institution which, if anything, is going to fall on its sword at some point when the world wakes up and realises what a con it is.

But the old git has to be kept alive at all costs, largely to keep up appearances for new members and also to protect the reputations of western leaders who have staked theirs on the war in Ukraine being a righteous win.

Anders Fogh Rasmussen is a lucky man. The former NATO chief is fortunate enough to actually not look as stupid as he really is and is at a period in his so-called career where he can say patently idiotic things and it doesn’t matter. But his latest idea – to give Ukraine some kind of token, half-cocked NATO membership – is braindead nonsense on a whole new scale which we haven’t seen before.

Since October 7, 2023, almost, 15000 civilians, including thousands of children and women, in Palestine have been killed by Israeli forces. There is much speculation that the latter is intentionally targeting children and women as a weapon to draw Hamas out of their hiding places. The recent genocide of the people of Gaza started after Hamas attacks on Israel on 7th October. Israel is using these attacks as an excuse for its beyond-the-pale atrocities and war crimes in Gaza, ignoring the fact that Hamas attacks were conducted in isolation. The history of the Israel Palestine conflict dates back almost a century. The Zionist people invaded the lands of Palestinians and forced them to evacuate their homes in 1948. A long history of violence, humiliation, and subjugation led to the creation and recent attacks of Hamas, which has also been admitted by the Secretary General of the United Nations.

The Israeli Defense Forces have killed thousands of civilians and bombed different hospitals, residential buildings, and some refugee camps in response to the Hamas attacks. Although these attacks provided an excuse for the Israeli forces to conduct this massacre in Gaza, the successful attack by Hamas has raised suspicions around the globe. Israel is considered one of the world’s best-equipped countries in terms of defense and eavesdropping technology. Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency, has earned a reputation of being among the best infiltrators and intelligence gatherers in the world. Moreover, the United States also collaborates with Israel in terms of intelligence sharing. Despite possessing such an invincible intelligence and defense system, being unaware of the Hamas’ operation has raised suspicions among many analysts around the globe.

The recent mass ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people from Gaza, indiscriminate operation by the Israeli forces, and rejection of ceasefire efforts and suggestions by Israel with the support of the United States demonstrate that all this predicate on something much more than just self-defense. Many believe that the real intention behind this genocide of the Palestinian people and their forced displacement from Gaza is directed towards the launch of Israel’s long-term dream project, the Ben-Gurion Canal. The construction of this canal was proposed in the 1960s by the founding father of Israel, David Ben-Gurion.

The continents of Asia and Europe are connected through the Suez Canal, which handles almost 10-12 percent of global cargo trade ships. It is responsible for the transportation of almost all the trade between Asia and Europe. The canal was once operated by the Suez Company. However, Gamal Abdel Nasser, Former Egyptian President, transferred the operations of the canal to the state-owned Suez Canal Authority, in 1956, which sparked the Suez Canal Crisis – the second Arab-Israeli War.
