Give the Ottomans their property back.
Yeah, well I don’t mind hating neocons. I am all good with it. I would not change that for a minute.
Bill Kristol?
Victoria Nuland aka Nurse Ratched?
Its like a who's who of scumbags...
As a Floridian,I love your tag line.
Seven months of Spring,five months of Summer.
A border is still a border...despite the length.
I would add to Ultra's points the following:
Norway's location across the North Sea and Norwegian Sea from the United Kingdom and Iceland, respectively, also makes it a natural fit for an international alliance like the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Norway may have joined NATO for its own defense purposes, but it also provides value to the NATO alliance for its polar location and to help in defending critical sea lanes.
I’m working on it - a table - I need the HTML exercise.
Rows, with 4 people per row.
Russia’s army is right up against NATO’s border because NATO has expanded to include countries that border Russia. That has nothing to do with Ukraine.
And everything to do with Russia’s history, both historically and recently, of genocide and colonialization of its neighbors. Unsuprisingly, Russia’s neigbhors have little interest in Moscow destroying their cities and murdering their children ever again. Sitting safely and comfortably at your computer I can understand why that might be hard to understand.
The last I checked Norway 1) doesn’t have 600,000 man army backed up with billions of dollars of weapons from NATO and 2) doesn’t have an ethnic Russian population that is being persecuted.
So, Hitler and the Nazis slaughtered six million Jews. Klaus Schwab is German and wants to kill billions. Should we hate Germany and Germans because that? Or do countries change over time?
You're point is imbecilic.
I'm sure most countries in the world would love to be part of NATO and have the U.S. taxpayer pay for their protection.
I'm not questioning why these countries would want to be part of NATO. I'm just pointing out the stupidity of the point made by the authors of this article -- who are suggesting that a problem the U.S. brought on itself over the last 30 years is somehow the overriding concern in all matters related to our dealings in Ukraine today.
I'm also questioning why it's in the best interests of the United States to let them into NATO and obligate ourselves to them.

Look up ULTRACREPIDARIAN. Maybe form a society.
If there’s such a high price for losing, then why did we start it?
Nuland is Hillary! without the cackle and the head-bobbing disorder.
We didn't. It was Moscovite aggression going back to 2014. Moscow didn't expect Ukraine to fight back, but it did.

That’s a 39 page download. Read it. Carefully. There will be a quiz.
Obama , Nuland, And Biden had nothing to do with it. What color is the sky in your world?
