Dec. 15, 2025 (EIRNS)—“NATO has definitely outlived its legitimacy. We must urgently replace it with a new security and development architecture which this time must take into account the security and development interests of every single country on the planet,” Helga Zepp-LaRouche told an international gathering of youth on Sunday, Dec. 14. “I think that is absolutely the only way out of this crisis.”
The tension between two simultaneous and opposite trajectories in the world serves to underscore those wise words: On the one hand, we see a world of the Global Majority that is moving to consolidate relationships of cooperation, mutual respect, and win-win agreements for development; and on the other, a completely hysterical freakout from an increasingly irrelevant, yet nuclear-armed, elite class that would do anything to prevent peace in Ukraine—or to stir up a new conflict somewhere else on the globe.
Take the recent flurry of diplomatic activity on the part of the BRICS nations. Within the past week alone, leaders from China, India, Russia, Brazil, Iran, U.A.E., Saudi Arabia, and Jordan have met in various constellations to discuss bolstering bilateral relations, economic development perspectives, and how to strengthen the role of the BRICS and SCO in shaping a stable and prosperous world system.
Contrast that with the E3 Coalition of the Killing leaders, Starmer, Merz, and Macron, who are determined to sabotage efforts to bring peace in Ukraine—no matter the cost. Those three dwarfs convened in Berlin on Dec. 15, joining U.S. and Ukrainian delegations who had just concluded two days of discussions on a possible peace deal, in order to figure out how to, in the words of Russian Senator Vladimir Dzhabarov, “make every effort to stall and torpedo the peace plan,” despite the fact that strategic defeat of Russia—the largest nuclear power on the planet—is impossible.
But even if one conflict is brought to a resolution, as we may be nearing in the case of Ukraine, the crumbling system of geopolitics has still not been abolished, and as Helga Zepp-LaRouche has repeatedly warned, as one crisis is brought toward resolution, expect that other crises will break out. In Iran, fear is mounting that the psychotic Netanyahu government in Israel will use the recent tragic mass murder of Jews in Australia as the pretext for launching new strikes in Iran.
In the Western Hemisphere, which the recent “Trump Corollary” to the Monroe Doctrine declared to be the U.S. zone of influence, the situation in the Caribbean remains extremely tense: On Friday, Dec. 12 a midair collision just 40 miles from the Venezuelan coast was narrowly avoided by an astute commercial airline pilot who spotted a U.S. Air Force refueling plane flying towards Venezuela without its transponder on, in just enough time to avoid disaster. Elsewhere in Ibero-America, leaders of nations are being installed—through elections or otherwise, and much to the delight of “Narco” Rubio—which promise to weaken or renounce their relationships with China’s Belt and Road Initiative and step into line with the Western financial interests. The Dec. 14 election of Pinochet admirer and ultra-monetarist José Antonio Kast in Chile, along with promises of Bolivia’s Foreign Minister to replace Chinese mining companies in his country with American ones, are recent examples.
But, thankfully, there is no solution other than to change the entire system.
“If you have a world which is in such disarray, you cannot try to solve these problems one by one,” Zepp-LaRouche said in her address to the youth. “Even if they have their historical and factual specificity—each crisis has its own reasons and dynamic—they are all part of this overall development where you have the end of the system of 500 years of colonialism, and the emergence of a new system whereby the countries the Global Majority are trying to create a new, more just system. That conflict is the deeper reason behind all these regional expressions of conflict. Therefore, you have to try to resolve this in totality.”
Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s call, “Withdraw from NATO! New National Security Strategy Requires New Security Architecture” is to be read, endorsed, and circulated by all who are serious about bringing about such a solution.
