Can organisations such as NATO at 75 suffer from dementia?

•

Jan Oberg

The talk of Biden’s situation never mentions the most frightening aspect: He is the supreme commander with a finger on the nuclear button.

That said, when I read NATO’s 2024 Washington Summit Declaration, I seriously wonder whether organisations, too, can suffer from – dangerous – dementia.

The declaration is: words, words, words.

Blind and dangerous groupthink.

Unbearably self-congratulatory and self-righteous.

One long denial that NATO is party to any conflict.

Filled with self-deceptive mantras about defensiveness and peace.

Repetitive ad nauseam.

A display of intellectual and moral disarmament – of ever-increasing militarism and nuclearism.

Paranoid.

Rich in logically contradictory statements and psycho-political projections.

Assertive without analyses. Provocative without introspection.

Enigmatically, the statement leaves out that NATO has God on its side and serves as his Church.

In short, it is one long indicator of how weak, how braindead AND therefore, dangerous the alliance has become. I hope you are, at least, half as concerned as I am!
