The Incredible Shrinking NATO

Fun article as usual. Do you mean 'prosecution' instead of 'persecution' of all the Ukrainian war criminals? Just wondered. To me NATO looks like a North American professional sports league, aka SCAM for zillionaires: entry fees for new teams, subsidies footed by tax-donkeys, dubious benefits like 'downtown development', tedious annual awards where zillionaires celebrate themselves by giving hardware (trophies) to multi-millionaires, etc etc...

Thank! It’s always very interesting to have your analysis of the situation!

What an excellent essay on the state of NATO and its fondlers. Thank you. Oh to get that out on Twitter!

That's a pretty searing analysis...thanks as ever..

Gold. Would appreciate if this is in a public domain. The world needs to know the real nature of NATO.

By popular demand, I've opened up access to this article to all.

Thank you. I will encourage everyone I know to read this.

To top it all, when examining NATO and its disintegration, we learn that for the last 6 months, the US Ambassador to Poland is  Ambassador Brzezinski. The son of the late unlamented arch Russia hater,  who fomented the USSR and Russia destructive involvement in Afghanistan, Zbignew Brzezinkski,  is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the Trilateral Commission!!!!   The arch Globalist and manipulator seems to have trained his son up in his own image. Given Poland now being the  latest in insanity demanding nuclear weapons for the face off with Russia, one wonders where these track to, and whom.

"First, it turned out that various bits of US-made shoulder-fired junk — anti-aircraft Stingers, anti-tank Javelins, etc — are rather worse than useless in modern combat."

Nobody told Raytheon, because they are dragging engineers out of retirement to refurbish and redesign Stingers. They still see the Pentagon recertification bureaucracy as the real enemy: https://www.newsweek.com/russia-ukraine-raytheon-stinger-missiles-1810291

Can you imagine the Brochure/Presentations that the Russians have put together? And at a fraction of the cost.  The Saudis ain't giving America the finger because they're the strongest military power on earth.   BTW...do you think Trump knew/gave the ok to take Soleimani out?  Anyway. l enjoy your work.  I quote "Work, Shop and Home" often.  Peace.

Hannibal Lector asked Clarice Starling, "What is his sin?"  Lector answered, "He covets,"

Best review of the current situation I've read - this is why I subscribed.

What I'm waiting for is for the Military Industrial Complex to reframe the debacle into "an opportunity for the active testing in a real world situation", and using this "new found knowledge" push for "new and improved" weapons systems that can "dominate in a real world scenario", ie, war with China.  More $$$ for them all!
