«A NATO serve realmente para alguma coisa ou a Europa tem que se posicionar com uma defesa própria»

"Does NATO really serve any purpose, or does Europe need to position itself with its own defense?" Maria João Tomás, a geopolitics expert, spoke on NOW about the closure of borders in crucial countries in Central Asia, the Caucasus, and the Baltic region, suggesting the preparation of a large-scale offensive in the conflict in Eastern Europe. The situation is aggravated by the expectation of an escalation in the war, possibly reaching the territory of NATO member countries, following successive drone attacks and growing tensions along European borders, she argues. Simultaneously, in the Middle East, she says the ceasefire has officially failed after explosions were reported. The US response near Iranian nuclear infrastructure raises deep global concerns about an unprecedented military escalation, motivated by the impasse in the release of frozen funds considered essential to mitigate the current economic crisis. Alongside these armed conflicts, Maria João Tomás spoke about the interest in Greenland, which has become the stage for intense geopolitical rivalry between the world's major powers, seeking to dominate resource extraction and secure faster logistical routes. #Ukraine #MiddleEast #Iran #UnitedStates #Greenland #Arctic #Geopolitics #GlobalConflict #EuropeanDefense #StrategicMinerals #MilitaryEscalation #InternationalCrisis #GlobalSecurity #WorldEconomy #Strategy
