I am all in favor of upgrading our military preparedness.
But I am dismayed by the increasing tone of “when we fight the Russians in the Baltics ...”
We used to be protecting Europe from the Soviets. I understood that.
Then we got embroiled in “nation building” in the Middle East. I didn’t like it.
Then we “pivoted” to focus on Asia. I understood that.
Now we are getting ready to fight the Russians. Somewhere. Anywhere. Syria? Baltics? Ukraine? Fulda Gap? I say “Hell No”.
NATO’s mission ended 25 years ago.
NATO’s job now is to provide security-theater for the leftist-globalist social engineers of Western Europe. For example, America stands guard over the George Soros inspired and Angela Merkel-managed invasion of 1 million Muslim men in the last 18 months. NATO stands guard over the assassination of Khaddafy and the attempt to turn Libya over to Gulf-States sponsored Muslim Brotherhood groups.
THAT is NATO.
Especially when this started over the U.S. supporting Al Qaeda jihadists directly-- and ISIS indirectly-- in Syria. Is one no longer patriotic when he refuses to back his country when it is siding with Salafist jihadists to overthrow a secular government and have its Christian people, protected by that secular government, slaughtered? And talking about war against a large, white Christian country which stepped in to protect a country being overrun with Christian-slaughtering Islamists??
