The observer points to Japan as the most likely candidate for this role, because “it has always been a supporter of power politics.” “Japan sees itself as a Western country and has a historical conflict with China. All this can be used by Washington and Japan will become an” Asian Ukraine, ”the expert notes.

According to the author, the bloc will use the conflict in Ukraine and expose Russia and China as aggressors to attract as many countries in the Indo-Pacific region into the expanded "NATO +" bloc.

“NATO's expansion policy into the Indo-Pacific region is reminiscent of the 'octopus' strategy. The bloc itself will not directly address regional issues, but its tentacles will,” the expert concluded.

Chinese experts have repeatedly warned that such an approach by NATO would allow the alliance to fully intervene in disputes and conflicts in Asia, as an "impartial international organization"./.
