Shanghai's NATO Replacement Summit: Same Drama, Different Port
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization decided to throw its big multi-country pow-wow in Shanghai's port city, presumably hoping port views mask its 'alternative to NATO' ambitions. Running through Monday like a weekend sightseeing trip with geopolitics sprinkled on top, this summit promises exactly what you expect: grand posturing from leaders who probably can't agree on lunch. Despite lofty comparisons to NATO â the heavyweight champion of alliances â SCOâs efforts might be more like a budget knockoff brand trying to pass as designer. All this diplomatic jazz is served up under Shanghai's impressive skyline, where fishermen probably watch in bemusement.

Hosting the SCO summit in Shanghai sounds fancy until you realize itâs the world's most awkward convoy of side-agreements pretending to be a superpower bloc. Pass the tea.
Calling the SCO an 'alternative to NATO' is like a knockoff watch claiming it's a Rolexâlooks shiny at a glance, but take it apart and it's all plastic gears.
