If Trump leaves NATO, he will shoot himself in the foot

April 4 was the anniversary of NATO's founding. Trump is threatening to withdraw Europe from NATO because NATO member countries are not joining the war against Iran alongside the US and Israel. The US leaving NATO or the dissolution of NATO would mean an acceleration of the collapse of dollar hegemony. 

NATO is not just a military alliance; it is the guardian of imperialism and the Western financial system. The real guarantee behind the US dollar still being the world's reserve currency today is the military power of the Pentagon and NATO.

It is said that the US is destroying the World Order it established after the Second World War. No, it is not destroying it; it is changing it in line with its own interests. How was the New World Order established? Let us recall it chronologically.

The Second World War ended in Europe on May 8, 1945, and worldwide on September 2, 1945, with the surrender of Japan.

Before the war had even ended, a conference was held between July 1-22, 1944, in the US mountain village of Bretton Woods to determine the world's new global economic system. 44 countries, including Turkey, participated in the conference, and the Bretton Woods agreement was signed. According to this agreement, it was decided to establish the UN, the IMF, and the World Bank.

After the war ended in September 1945, the United Nations was established on October 24, 1945.

Immediately afterward, within two months, on December 27, 1945, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank were established. 

These agreements created the structure that would ensure the dollar was accepted as the reserve currency in the world. However, a stick or a gendarme was needed to stand behind this formation. That stick became NATO, which was established on April 4, 1949.

NATO's military power was essentially the most important factor that ensured the dollar became the reserve currency.

Given that China's Belt and Road Initiative, the CIPS payment system developed against SWIFT—the international payment system the US uses as a stick—and the fact that transactions have begun to be made in Yuan in world trade and especially in oil trade, all threaten the dollar's status as a reserve currency, it is unthinkable for the US to dismantle NATO, which acts as the gendarme of the dollar. What Trump is doing is using this threat to force European countries to join the war against Iran. 

Trump knows that the Pentagon and Wall Street will not allow him to leave NATO or dismantle it. Furthermore, Trump gathered NATO countries last year and demanded that all countries increase their defense spending from 2.5 percent of their national income (GDP) to 5 percent. All countries except Spain accepted this. A significant portion of this spending will go to American arms companies. Trump certainly does not want to miss out on such a market.

There is no doubt that a withdrawal from NATO would push dollar liquidity and global borrowing costs to an unpredictable level. 

WHAT YOU CALL THE DEEP STATE IS ALREADY NATO

NATO does not just mean conducting joint exercises; it means an intelligence and control network that infiltrates the capillaries of member countries.

After the Second World War, secret structures were established in every country to show "guerrilla-type" resistance against a possible Soviet invasion. However, over time, these structures turned into a tool of oppression (Counter-guerrilla) not only against external threats but also against domestic left-wing/socialist movements.

Although NATO appears to be a defense agreement for member countries, it essentially provides the US with the ability to control the internal politics of member countries. The Deep State, intelligence agencies, foreign policies, and even economic policies of NATO member countries are controlled by NATO. 

The 1971-1980 military coups in Turkey, the unrest that paved the way for these coups, and the January 24 Decisions were all Deep State operations under NATO control. It is possible to give these examples outside of Turkey as well.

Italy Gladio (Sword) The most well-known. It was associated with events such as the Aldo Moro assassination and the Bologna train station massacre.

Greece LOK (Red Sheepskin) It is alleged that it played an active role in the "Regime of the Colonels" coup in 1967.

Belgium SDRA VIII It came to the fore with the Brabant massacres and political assassinations in the 1980s.

Germany TD BJD It was structured as an anti-communist network that also included former Nazi officers.

France Plan Bleu / Rose des Vents It was uncovered during the De Gaulle era and attempts were made to dismantle it.

Portugal Aginter Press It was the center of far-right operations during the Salazar dictatorship.

Switzerland P-26 Although it was not a NATO member, it emerged in 1990 that it had a similar stay-behind structure.

The CPC (Clandestine Planning Committee) located at NATO headquarters in Brussels is the coordination center for intelligence services and deep state formations. Therefore, the "brain" of local deep states is actually directly connected to Washington. 

In a declaration published with the participation of Republican Senators as well as a portion of senators from Trump's own party, the Democratic Party, it was stated that leaving NATO would be "realizing the greatest dream of Putin and Xi Jinping." Furthermore, without a two-thirds majority decision in the Senate, the US cannot legally withdraw from NATO. 

Trump saying he will leave NATO is a threat directly to the US, not to Europe. It is an empty blackmail. As they say, he is crazy, so anything he does is expected... I wish the US would leave NATO and NATO would dissolve...
