NATO and other Western elite warmongers continue to reel from the release of the US National Security Strategy (NSS) which, despite its problematic elements, has, in the words of Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche, “usefully provoked a crisis that was long overdue“. She has stated that the new national security strategy requires “new security architecture“. Zepp-LaRouche said: “Under today’s conditions of a financial meltdown of the Trans-Atlantic system, the new document has created the opportunity for a rational reassessment of one’s own security interests and the redesign of the international security architecture.“

It is only such a redesign of the entire global security architecture that can address any of the seemingly smaller crises – from the collapse of the financial system to the war in Ukraine and to the horrors perpetrated in Gaza. During an event held on December 10, 2025, Zepp-LaRouche was insistent that there was no piecemeal solution to any of the individual crises, because all was being driven by the collapse and associated desperation, of those committed to the entire unipolar world order.

This desperation continues to be on full display. Former President of the EU Commission Romano Prodi, in an interview with Rai 3 TV on December 10, lamented that, in the terms of the US NSS, “NATO is reduced to nothing.” Prodi and his geopolitical cohorts may further unravel when they learn that Republican Thomas Massie introduced a bill into the US Congress to withdraw the US forces from NATO, which he called “a Cold War relic“, stating in an announcement of the bill: “NATO was created to counter the Soviet Union, which collapsed over 30 years ago. Since then, the US participation has cost taxpayers trillions of dollars and continues to risk US involvement in foreign wars.“

More than a relic, NATO, as Zepp-LaRouche more accurately observed, “is no longer an Atlantic defence alliance, but considers itself as the military arm to defend the unipolar world order“.

As if to prove her point, the British Royal Navy’s First Sea Lord General Sir Gwyn Jenkins sputtered on December 8 that Britain must “step up” against the Russian threat, lest it lose “the advantage that we have enjoyed in the Atlantic since the end of the Second World War“. Meanwhile, British Rear Admiral (Retired) Philip Mathias called for Britain to pull out of the AUKUS defence pact so that it could afford to build more nuclear submarines to counter Russia.

The panic from the warmongers at the collapse of their system was noted by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Viktorovich Lavrov, who observed in an address to the Russian Federation Council on December 10 that the system of globalisation, as promoted by Western countries, “is fading into oblivion“, and that due to the collapse of the European economies, “apart from robbing Russia and seizing our gold and currency reserves in violation of all conceivable norms of international and commercial law, they have no other sources to fund (the Ukraine) war“.

So where does the solution lie?

Zepp-LaRouche stressed: “We have reached a point in the universal history of mankind where we must leave behind not only half a millennium of colonialism, but also the mindset that led to two world wars in the 20th Century: Geopolitics.” She further said: “We must leave behind, once and for all, the barbaric idea that we always need an enemy, that man is a wolf to man, as Thomas Hobbes, the ideologist of the British Empire, believed… We are the only species known in the universe that is endowed with creative reason, and we must now use it by putting the idea of one humanity first as we establish a new order.“

Koushik Das (born on May 16, 1976 in Kolkata) is a career journalist. Based in the Indian capital of New Delhi, Koushik writes mainly about foreign policies and current geopolitical issues, and rarely about other topics. His own political ideas are highly influenced by Antonio Gramsci, Louis Althusser, Michel Foucault, Michael Oakeshott and others. English philosopher and political theorist Oakeshott (Dec 11, 1901-Dec 19, 1990) says that “in political activity, men sail a boundless and bottomless sea. There is neither harbour for shelter nor floor for anchorage, neither starting-place, nor appointed destination. But we have to keep afloat”. (Rationalism in Politics, 1962) As a student of Political Science, Koushik loves to share his views on issues, which have great impacts on his thought process (and also on India, South Asia and of course on the global community), with his readers through his website – Boundless Ocean of Politics. By doing so, he tries to keep himself afloat. You will find some of his articles in https://inserbia.info/today/ (https://inserbia.info/today/author/kou_das13_i/), as he has been trying to assess the global geopolitics since 2003.
