“Do I need to write it in French?”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Even if you translated what you said to French, it would remain nonsensical. I don’t understand what you mean.

Trump was already having a positive effect on NATO as he was strengthening it, reactivating V Corps and moving it forward to Poland, killing the INF Treaty, and rebuilding our Nuclear Forces against Russia.

Today, Russia has contributed to this stronger NATO by changing almost everything about it, more members, more countries increasing their military budgets and focusing on new weapons and weapon manufacturing, ending NATO dependence on Russian energy, and new more conservative outlooks and leaders on energy and military matters.

This is not the NATO of 23 months ago.

And the Prussians had a chip on their shoulder about that ever since.

“An interesting bit of history, it was the Prussians that turned the tide in the Battle of Waterloo, which the British systematically turned into their victory with successful propaganda.”

And it was the Hessians employed by the British that helped the British force G.Washington out of Brooklyn, into Manhattan and the across to New Jersey and Penn. Of course old King George came from Germany.

It is ALREADY happening as some countries give as much as 4% of GDP which is well above the recommended figure of 2% which has been neglected in the past. NATO is awake now.

Who knows, it’s just a lame meaningless cartoon put out by the Russian government’s propaganda arm, Sputnik News.

It was important to you and somehow was supposed to be a rebuttal, or correction, or something, to post 42, but I don’t know how.

I wish the article actually said who the war would be with. I presume Russia? But it should be stated outright, imho.

What could go wrong?

Granted, this was taken back in 2014. From left: Albania's Defense Minister Mimi Kodheli with her counterparts Jeanine Hennis Plasschaert (The Netherlands), Ursula Von der Leyen (Germany), Ine Marie Eriksen Soreide (Norway) and Roberta Pinotti (Italy) at NATO headquarters in Brussels.

Let's continue and persist in ginning up whatever massacre we can, wherever we can, so long as we're killing off Russians and... whomever else we manipulate into the situation as our proxy.

Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia, or some such thing.

It’s a tragedy that this war even took place in Ukraine, but the end game IMHO is a losing proposition for all.

NATO, Russia, USA - all will lose.

That’s the plan.

Exactly. The only way Russia can take over any land in a NATO territory is nukes.

Actually, if Russia were still Communist, all the lefties would still be adoring them.
