  1. It's bitterly ironic how the West made such a song and dance for decades about tearing down the Iron Curtain and The Wall and yet its spent the decades since that was achieved trying to put up new ones.

  2. Tblisi, Georgia's capital, has a street named after George W. Bush and some wanted to name one after Sen. John McCain ffs. Nuff said.

  3.  @rebelmango2141   NATO forces went into Iraq as 'NATO' after the illegal US-led coalition invasion and bombing and remained there for years as a 'defensive alliance'? Seems like a moot point to me. Whether the NATO bombing of Libya had UN approval or not again is not relevant in terms of its status. It was effectively another Western led regime change that demonstrably caused far more harm than good. Thus, again, what exactly was NATO defending its members against in that instance? NATO's 'defensive' bombing of Belgrade, including targeting civilians, was undertaken WITHOUT UN approval. The UN did, however, approve of the US led invasion of Afghanistan and, again like Iraq, 'defensive alliance' NATO forces then ended up forming part of the occupation force. This not only raises serious questions about NATO's self-proclaimed 'defensive alliance' status it also raises suspicions about both it and the UN's role after and before these US-led 'defensive' actions have occurred.

  5. ​ @rebelmango2141 So when it bombed Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Belgrade etc it was because they were about to attack a NATO member presumably? Do you have proof of that?

  7.  @rebelmango2141  Another factual polite reply prevented. I expect you love our Western freedoms?

  8.  @rebelmango2141  Well that's good, but don't assume that they're not under a growing threat from within. You don't have to be a lover of Putin or want to go and live in Russia in order to see that.

  9.  @rebelmango2141  No it's not just 'because I don't like them'. I'm trying to find a morally or even legally consistent thread here and you ain't providing it. Basically spouting the US' 'international rules based order line' no longer cuts it. Everyone with a shred of decency and two brain cells sees that for what it is now. It is whatever the US wants it to mean on any given day. Disguising its 'interests' as 'principles' is wearing more than a little thin now.

  10.  @rebelmango2141  Sadly looks like the YT censorship Gods have finally caught up with me as they usually do.

  11. True. 'Interests' that it still somehow manages to convince too much of a credulous world are 'principles'.

  12. Indeed. Piss be upon him. A man who famously never met a war he didn't like. There was, believe it or not, a proposal to name a street after him in 2018 in Tblisi. There is one there named after a cretin, sorry a certain Dubya though!!

  13.  @rebelmango2141  The original 1991 Constitution of Ukraine contained within it its commitment to neutrality. "The Ukrainian SSR solemnly declares its intention of becoming a permanently neutral state that does not participate in military blocs and adheres to three nuclear free principles: to accept, to produce and to purchase no nuclear weapons". Its parliament only voted to end its neutrality after the CIA sponsored Maidan coup in 2014 which is particularly odd given its previously stated constitutional aim to remain neutral and how NATO first mooted the prospect of it joining 6 years earlier in its controversial 2008 Bucharest Summit Declaration. 'NATO welcomes Ukraine’s and Georgia’s Euro-Atlantic aspirations for membership in NATO. We agreed today that these countries will become members of NATO. Both nations have made valuable contributions to Alliance operations. We welcome the democratic reforms in Ukraine and Georgia and look forward to free and fair parliamentary elections in Georgia in May. MAP is the next step for Ukraine and Georgia on their direct way to membership. Today we make clear that we support these countries’ applications for MAP. Therefore we will now begin a period of intensive engagement with both at a high political level to address the questions still outstanding pertaining to their MAP applications. We have asked Foreign Ministers to make a first assessment of progress at their December 2008 meeting. Foreign Ministers have the authority to decide on the MAP applications of Ukraine and Georgia'
