Yeah you convinced me NATO has been canceled ty so much for bringing this to our attention.
Trump was right about NATO . It should be disbanded pronto . But it won’t be .
But Russia is not allowed to have "red lines" on Ukraine joining NATO - right on Russia's doorstep.
There is no hypocrite like a neocon globalist hypocrite...
Have the members of NATO behaved fraudulently with regards to its terms as written?
And if so, why should said members keep pretending it’s anything more than a means for America to exert influence over Europe, and a means for Europe to let America’s military underwrite its generous social welfare programs?
The treaty doesn't say anything about "escalatory." It just says the parties will endeavor to act in accordance with the purpose of the UN charter, which is peace. The UN authorized "escalation" in Korea, did it not? So obviously sometimes escalation can be in accordance with the UN charter.
Following that precedent, the UN should authorize the use of force against Russia for waging aggressive war (aiming at annexation) in Europe, a crime for which men were hanged at Nuremberg.
Can't change the mind of someone who can't read. Nothing in the above articles precludes shipping arms or "proxy" wars.
We’ll get what we take (by hearts and minds, not bullets and such.
Oh hell, I forgot to close quotes. Am I supposed to close quotes before the period or after the period? Or am I a complete, hopeless humanoid.
I remember this guy. He’s a flake and a conspiracy theorist. He is with the Tea Party, yet at the same time is with Occupy Wall Street; the two are polar opposites. His blog is simply a venue to hawk his and his daughter’s programs. He is what the Comanches would have called a “trickster,” who appears as one thing, but is actually another; who will seem initially to make sense, but then it’s all an act because he goes off the rails into wild conspiracies. He is the poster child for the term “useful idiot.”
Parenthesis, not quotes. This communication thing is almost impossible, even though I have been a professional communicator.
Someday you’ll learn a very hard lesson about remembering which team you’re playing on.
I’m on the American team and all those who want to tell me America is no better than Russia or China, are not on my team.
That's precisely the point: what "escalation" has the UN or NATO authorized with regards to arms shipments to Ukraine? To repeat:
Therefore NATO members are obligated to stay out of non-member conflicts except with the unanimous consent of all members.
Does unanimous consent exist? Has it been established?
And has the use of force in the Russia-Ukraine been authorized in the manner called for by America's constitutional processes?
The point is that such processes haven't been followed. We're just blithely shipping arms willy-nilly, much like how France and Germany did after Russia annexed Crimea.
It all rings so hollow.
Actually, it was Australia that said that and, yeah, they’re right next door.
When asked to join the sanctions against Russia, India told the US, “Friends don’t draw red lines”.
You are quite the Biden guy cheerleading for the Biden globalist team. They are pure evil. You are also a sanctimonious jerk. Biden is throwing all kinds of money over there and wrecking this country. I want no part of any team you are on. Give us another “B.”
The Australian PM spoke as though it wasn't just theirs: "Working together with our partners in New Zealand and of course the United States, I share the same red line that the United States has when it comes to these issues," Morrison said over the weekend. "We won't be having Chinese military naval bases in our region on our doorstep."
Show me you know nothing about the author without telling me you know nothing about him.
If there was ever a time where he ever 'hawked' any programs of his or his daughter's, it's been literally years. I certainly can't recall such within recent memory.
It's all so boringly predictable.
If you want the author's own opinions on Putin, you could just read his own words: Meh. Putin is a dirtbag and I've said it for more than a decade, including on his own TV network. Just because one side of a conflict is a dirtbag does not make the other an Angel. In fact it is often true that BOTH sides are dirtbags.
