Nato released an official statement from their annual summit.

The highlights for me are warnings to Iran and Belarus, and the heavy criticism of the military movements of China and North Korea. It is worth noting that yesterday (July 12th) North Korea announced on their national TV the successful launch of a transcontinental Nuclear Missile.

For its part, Beijing accuses Nato of thinking "like during the Cold War". Moreover, Nato "confuses right and wrong" and has "ideological prejudices that China firmly rejects", a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said on Wednesday. Nato claims to be a defense alliance, while encouraging its member states to constantly increase their military spending, expand their power beyond their borders and provoke confrontations in the Asia-Pacific region as well, the spokesman said. China, on the other hand, sees itself as a "promoter of world peace".

Let's discuss some geopolitics. What do you think will develop by the end of the year?
