Russia Builds Anti-Western Axis with China, Iran, and North Korea

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has announced that Russia is preparing for a long-term conflict while deepening cooperation with China, North Korea, Iran, and other states. According to him, Moscow is not alone in its efforts to disrupt the international order. “Russia is forming an unprecedented level of defense and industrial cooperation with its allies,” Rutte stated.

The NATO leader warned that the alliance must not show naivety and should be ready for potential challenges. He recalled U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt's words from 1942, emphasizing that powerful adversaries must be surpassed not only on the battlefield but also in production capabilities.
