<< 1. NATO's mandate is explicitly, solely, defensive. It was set up to stop 10,000 Soviet tanks from reaching Paris That's what W. Europe signed up for. It was never intended, and nobody ever agreed to a mandate that included,any offensive military action of any kind, even in Europe.>>> Things have changed. If Russian tanks are rolling across the French border there would be no Paris left. Destroyed by missiles, sky dark with Russian airplanes So the UN is going to sit and discuss what should be done about the tanks ? And they will have to get US approval to do what? Use their own Air Force ? Makes me wonder if France would go off on its own, as the US may have to do here, to the displeasure of Russia or other UN members that vetoed any action. It resembles a Global police force with no guns, and nothing to do until a crime is already committed, then go out and search for the criminals that stole and ate the horse. Sig
