At 10 p.m. Beijing time on March 5, Medvedev, vice chairman of Russia's Security Council known as a "scoffer," wrote on a social platform: "NATO is really crazy! First, the United States assassinated an Iranian leader and provoked a war in the Middle East. Then, the NATO fools led by Trump's toady 'son' Rutte even considered activating Article Five. Why not nominate the president for the Nobel Peace Prize, honoring him for starting a big war? Orwell was right: War is peace!"
The US-Israel joint decapitation of an Iranian leader was no coincidence, but rather a deliberate provocation aimed at controlling the Middle East's energy lifelines and maintaining regional hegemony, with the intention of igniting conflict to reshape an order that suits their interests. Medvedev's sharp statement precisely exposes the hegemonic nature of the United States "fearing chaos in the Middle East" and the dependent dilemma of NATO.
NATO Secretary General Rutte, in an effort to show loyalty, has even discussed activating the Article Five collective defense clause, which was used only once after "9/11." This ties NATO to the U.S. war machine. This perfectly confirms that he has long become a U.S. spokesperson, completely ignoring the consequences of Europe being dragged into war.
Ironically, Trump criticized "Europe as fools," while Medvedev denounced NATO as "fools." The two "scoffers" form a perfect intertextuality. Rutte had previously jokingly called Trump "Dad," but now is seen as a "toady son." This identity reversal highlights NATO's awkward situation. Medvedev's reference to Orwell's irony "War is peace" directly points out how the U.S. and NATO use the pretext of "maintaining security" to actually create chaos, revealing the absurdity of this hegemonic farce.
