A Better NATO on modified UN Security Council with “attack on one member of the Council is an attack on all”

This is one of the auxiliary effects of the Russia-Ukraine war: “The White House has confirmed that the US has intelligence on Russia’s anti-satellite capability, which could pose a threat to the security and stability of the space domain. In a press briefing on Friday, the White House press secretary said that the US was aware of Russia’s development and testing of anti-satellite weapons, which could be used to damage or destroy satellites in orbit.”

Yes, with mutual trust gone, some of these nations will begin to work to bring sci-fi to reality. Like Mike Tyson said “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face”. Indeed, there are things which can hit this world, and all the defensive plans will fade. And nations like the US, Russia and China have those capabilities. Interestingly, the world has ceded rights for them to “keep” the world as permanent members of the UN Security Council. But yet, they show limited mutual respect among themselves. What again do they want?

These three countries are the only nations which have capacities to make military hardware, produce them and can sustain wars for years.  Others can barely last six months due to their production capacities and population. If that is the case, why can’t they just get along, and allow peace to reign?

With the announcement of Russia’s plan to have these nuclear anti-missile satellite capabilities, the US will up its own playbook from tomorrow, and in ten  years, Russia will up its own, and the vicious circle to world destruction continues. I call on the UN Security Council to modify its ordinance with “attack on one member of the Council is an attack on all”. That is a better NATO!
