Full title: Secretary General announces North Atlantic Council to meet following Poland's request for Article 4 consultations
The North Atlantic Council, which includes the ambassadors of all 28 NATO Allies, will meet on Tuesday 4 March, following a request by Poland under article 4 of NATO's founding Washington Treaty.
Under article 4 of the Treaty, any Ally can request consultations whenever, in the opinion of any of them, their territorial integrity, political independence or security is threatened.
The developments in and around Ukraine are seen to constitute a threat to neighboring Allied countries and having direct and serious implications for the security and stability of the Euro-Atlantic area.
NATO will wring their hands and do nothing.
To do what? Draft a “terse response”? Jeeze Louise.
Hey, they’ll use bold letters in a sans-serif font on that memo.
How many Poles does it take to learn their own history? Ruskies are not that forgetful, they keep tab on Polish transgressions. For mass murder of 250,000 Russians in Zakopane concentration camp after WWI they returned favor in Katyn. Poles pretend not to know what Katyn was all about. As they pretend February 21 agreement was never made.
The developments in and around Ukraine are seen to constitute a threat to neighboring Allied countries and having direct and serious implications for the security and stability of the Euro-Atlantic area.
No kidding. Too bad we didn’t have a real President. But then we haven’t had one since Reagan was in Office.
Ping.
The Polish–Soviet War (February 1919 – March 1921) was an armed conflict that pitted Soviet Russia and Soviet Ukraine against the Second Polish Republic and the Ukrainian People’s Republic over the control of an area equivalent to today’s Ukraine and parts of modern-day Belarus. At some points the war also threatened Poland’s existence as an independent state. It followed on from the Soviet westward offensive of 1918–19.
Under the banners of “revolutionary march across Europe”, the Bolshevik Russia was close to victory in the war of 1920, when the Russian forces reached the outskirts of Warsaw. Although many observers deemed Poland a lost cause and were sure of its prompt collapse and bolshevization, Pilsudzki halted the Soviet advance before they reached Warsaw and resumed the offensive. A British diplomat, Lord D’Aberno spoke of this battle as “the eighteenth decisive battle of the world”.
A Russian or a damn imbecile ?
