A couple of years ago here on FR, in one thread someone said, NATO is in essence the U.S. - but there was a very recent related thread on FR: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3191702/posts
I very much doubt if NATO member countries would fall for another fiasco like Libya, and they certainly didn’t step in and bomb Syria to rubble, though I held my breath thinking it might happen. What stopped them?
That the Crimea Tartars assumed NATO could be used against supporters of Russia in the Ukraine really aught to tell us what islam thinks NATO is good for.
It was the fighters in Syria with ISIS who had received US military training - and the question is still asked, who would have had the expertise required to shoot down a civilian aircraft?
Not the Ukrainians, not the Russians, but possibly a third party; the one no one dares to name, the one whose ‘prophet’ told them ‘war is deception’.
