NATO is distinct from the three island chains for the very simple reason that the US wants to futilely recreate the Sino-Soviet split (you know, the topic of this thread), so obviously they're not going to have the fuck Russia alliance (NATO) be operationally the same as the fuck China alliance (three island chains)

All of these anti-Russia states are also anti-PRC and vice versa. They are bound by the same economic interests and collaborate in warfare, both economic and conventional.

Putting the two alliances under one operational structure would just bring Russia and China even closer together

Which is what has been happening lately, and which the PRC apparently failed to recognize last century. All of the relevant states are just free facto subjects of the US.

Don't have the time to engage with the rest of your content right this moment. Will Jane to do this later.

EDIT:

Like, there's also the fuck Iran alliance

Which also includes NATO.

but you won't see NATO openly get involved in Palestine

We see that every day. We see them run pro-genocide propaganda campaigns, we seem them supply weapons to Pissrael, we see them continuing to support Pissrael via trade in general, and so on, and so forth.

precisely because that would just bring Russia closer to Iran

Which is what seems to have been going on.

Russia has been traditionally pretty pro-Zionist

Can't really comment on if that is true, apart from Russia supplying the Palestinian resistance without a demand from the UN during this escalation, but I am going to note that you previously praised the PRC for being 'closer than ever' with this Russia that you claim to be pro-zionist.

So, you will have various NATO countries like Turkey and Spain pretend to be pro-Palestinian while other NATO countries like the UK ship weapons to the Zionist entity

So, you admit that NATO is also a 'fuck-Palestine' alliance? That weakens your claim that NATO is somehow separate from all those other 'anti-X' alliances.

but you won't see the entire alliance as a whole push to support the Zionist entity

Except, we see exactly that.
Name any de facto NATO state that has provided support for the resistance against the genocide. By your own admission, it's not Spain, it's not Turkey, and we also know that it's not Norway (which is at the very least a known supplier of weapons used in the genocide), it's not the US, not Germany, not the UK, not France. Who?

We know they all have the same master in DC

Which means that these alliances are not separate and that your attempts to deny their geopolitical interests of colonial domination over the rest of the world as being shared is rather silly.

but the agents within these formations themselves still get antsy when they are asked to step outside the scope of their organization

Doesn't matter if they do so.
Also, the scope of the organisation is colonial dominance over the world. It's obviously not a specifically anti-Russia alliance.

German troops aren't going to defend Taiwan

Yes, they are. The moment their USian masters tell them to, they are going to.

but actual state assets are reluctant to step outside

Notably, I do not see you provide any evidence for this claim.

    This wasn't really true for the EU until recently. The EU wasn't that anti-China and is still digging their feet to join the anti-China crusade. Just look how divided they are when discussing the car tariffs.. Traditionally, they make a lot of noise about being anti-China and pro-human rights while doing fuckall from the perspective of actually anti-China countries like Japan and the ROK. Of course, when push comes to shove, they'll do as they're told in the end.

    Which is what has been happening lately, and which the PRC apparently failed to recognize last century. All of the relevant states are just free facto subjects of the US.

    They simply made the correct assessment that the US cared more about the Soviet Union than China because Soviet Union was far more economically developed with a much scarier military on top of having status as the world's first worker state. Meanwhile, China then was poor as fuck with a GDR per capita lower than most African countries.

    I think we just disagree too much to have a productive conversation at this point. I don't think it will be a fruitful use of your time to engage with my points since I would most likely disagree with it anyways.

    I have updated the previous comments.

    This wasn't really true for the EU until recently. The EU wasn't that anti-China and is still digging their feet to join the anti-China crusade

    By the same logic, it's also not true that NATO is an anti-Russia alliance, given that, until relatively recently they were fine with Russia. In particular, they even controlled Russia in the 90s, and were fine exploiting Russia as their neo-colony with as little disturbance as possible until 2022.

    Just look how divided they are when discussing the car tariffs

    Do you call this 'divided'? 10 in favour, 5 against, with the only prominent member of NATO voting against being Germany.

    Traditionally, they make a lot of noise about being anti-China and pro-human rights while doing fuckall from the perspective of actually anti-China countries like Japan and the ROK

    Except for attempting to dismantle the PRC's access to a market that is important to the PRC and preventing the PRC from destroying NATO's manufacturers while Japan and the RoK keep doing what, exactly?

    Of course, when push comes to shove, they'll do as they're told in the end

    Meaning that they are in an anti-PRC alliance, contrary to your prior claims.

    They simply made the correct assessment that the US cared more about the Soviet Union than China

    And the evidence for the correctness of that assessment is what, exactly?
    Also, how does it follow from that assessment that the PRC should have sabotaged both the USSR and other countries anti-colonial struggles?

    Meanwhile, China then was poor as fuck with a GDR per capita lower than most African countries

    Yes, that's kind of an expected consequence of decades of warfare, genocide, and victimisation by colonialism.
    Notably, the PRC sabotaged other countries struggle against colonialism and genocide. Not sure how that was supposed to help the PRC with the problem you just outlined.
