This proposal ought to cause some Zeeper heads to explode.

NATO is nothing but a business, one that thrives on war and stirring up hatred and paranoia, especially about Russia.

An additional reply: Muslim extremism. We have at least one NATO member whose leader would like to reestablish a caliphate. That same member has facilitated the migration of vast numbers of Muslims into Europe. We may find ourselves with a common interest in the future.

Of course there is the belief that Russia is Magog, and is beyond redemption. Only the Lord knows for sure.

“Yet, under the leadership of Vladimir Putin”


Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin
About Defendant
Born on 7 October 1952, President of the Russian Federation.

Accused LastName
Vladimirovich Putin
Accused FirstName
Vladimir

Charges

Allegedly responsible for the war crime of unlawful deportation of population (children) and that of unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation (under articles 8(2)(a)(vii) and 8(2)(b)(viii) of the Rome Statute). The crimes were allegedly committed in Ukrainian occupied territory at least from 24 February 2022. There are reasonable grounds to believe that Mr Putin bears individual criminal responsibility for the aforementioned crimes, (i) for having committed the acts directly, jointly with others and/or through others (article 25(3)(a) of the Rome Statute), and (ii) for his failure to exercise control properly over civilian and military subordinates who committed the acts, or allowed for their commission, and who were under his effective authority and control, pursuant to superior responsibility (article 28(b) of the Rome Statute).

“Yet, under the leadership of Vladimir Putin”

Key points about Putin’s alleged corruption and wealth
Estimates of “dark money”:

A 2020 report by the Atlantic Council estimated that Russians hold approximately $1 trillion in “dark money” hidden abroad, according to the BBC. The report suggests that about a quarter of this amount is controlled by Putin and his close associates (oligarchs), and that this money could be used for activities such as espionage, terrorism, and political manipulation.

Cheaper and safer just to dissolve NATO.

Russia joins NATO against Elbonia (which has always had aggressive tendencies)

Мартин looks East Slavic. That might explain his fealty to his Fatherland Russia.

Oh, Maddie Half-bright was for it. Nuf sed.

So, as a NATO member, defend against itself? All this would do is put us on the hook for when China decides to annex their “Northern Resource Area.”

Gaetz is a lunatic. This merely confirms what millions have long known.

Mister Armstrong sometimes gets a crazy idea in his head.
————-
He reports much news our western MSM “ overlooks”. Yahoo picked up on this one, as did Armstrong….Gaetz merely stated what was known for a few decades.

I don’t agree with everything he posts, but do read his news as it is jam packed full of statistics, facts and figures. His Socrates computer monitors and tracks every financial sector in the world, daily. Tracking the Wealth movements of the world leads to understanding cycles and trends- even war.

“ Martin Armstrong”
That can’t be his real name.
—————
This kook TxGator has posted numerous times he thinks me, Delta 7 is the legendary Martin Armstrong. I do call him a kook, and as he has been banned/ suspended from FR a few times, a real nutcase.

I will admit, I enjoy waiting for his “replies” to Armstrong’s articles….he looks foolish.

Silver is going to the moon!!!

Keep your eyes on Platinum, those following the market state there has been “failures to deliver” from the western exchange last month. The paper contracts were denied delivery and forced to take cash settlements….Vlad holds the lion’s share of Platinum, some say he is just not selling to the West, another noted individual thinks Russia has run out.

In either case, Pt is poised to outperform both Ag and Au.

and at its ruler for life leader who will be approaching his 30th year of ruling.

Having lived and worked in Moscow, I can tell you his people love him! He and President Trump have much in common, strong leaders who look out for their citizens ( unlike the very, very weak EU leadership).

That said, the Ukie war cheerleaders would love to see him leave, however, I can assure you his replacement will not show as much restraint as Vlad has. You should be thankful.

China now has more billionaires than the whole of Europe and currently probably has as many entrepreneurs as the US. Yes the Communist Party's in power but where's the old Mao type communism at?

CINOs...Commies In Name Only...

What were you teaching the Russians?

By the way, “war-mongers” invade nations for new territory and wealth, they are not the people defending their homes, you support the invasion and want it to continue.

Exactly. Martin’s Socrates computer forecasts the world’s Wealth moving from the West to the East by 2030….already in progress, China’s SGE is opening Gold depositories across the world, Saudi Arabia’s, UAE, and the Pacific regions.

Moscow is close to opening their own MOW Gold exchanges….important to note two facts:
1) they are prohibited from dealing in paper contracts, physical only. That effectively wipes out our Comex and LBMA….and price suppression.

2) the World’s Central Banks, the biggest money on the planet have been buying Historic amounts of Gold.

Anyone closely following can see what is happening.
