As I recall, NATO is a DEFENSE organization. Nations align themselves to make the group strong enough so that potential enemies will be afraid to attack any of the members since a war against one is a war against all. Our experience has been, at least in Europe, that this works. NATO was successful in defending Western Europe from any attack by the Soviet Union for over 40 years.

So our failure in this case to incorporate Georgia and the Ukraine into an expanded NATO makes a very clear statement: Russia, you may with impunity invade either of these nations - we are not prepared to defend them. You have a free hand.

Yeah, thanks Jorge and Condi-Clueless.

They are too busy "mandating" terms of surrender to Israel, while absolving the terrorist Fatah of any wrongdoing.

Sheesh, is it Jan 20th yet???

Too bad that when America goes to war Georgia and Ukraine won’t be there to be there to defend us.
