OUTSTANDING article, should be required reading!

I liked the opening:
>What is the point of Nato? An Atlantic alliance that has
brought us to this catastrophe should be wound up.

AMEN!

DD, an interesting articulation of the view of the British Left, and, of course, NATO has bumbled, and it has committed blunders that are at least arguably crimes, so there is fresh ammunition. On the other hand, the idea behind NATO, which is that so long as Germany is mistrusted on the Continent, America must serve as its "proxy", and balance the power of Russia or a potentially resurgent "Slavic bloc" (consisting of Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine, at a minimum), in order to discourage revisionist bids that will upset the peace and order of Europe, remains sound...

Now, it's high time to start a NATO "air campaign" in Kashmir (3 nuclear powers are already there so, this could get even more interesting!).
