Look at Iraq. Tony Blair knowingly entered the war on false pretenses and under his watch they committed war crimes. he was not held to account. because iraq bad. therefore the same bush will apply to this war.

this war will be fought on the battle field until either ukraine wins or russia does something that makes the west change its mind.

nato expansion is a key strategic aim of the US and therefore this also was a big nono.

Just like how they are trying to bring South Korea and Japan into NATO.
But it would be too obvious.

Hence AUKUS, they are also trying to bring India into the coalition as well.

A little off topic but quite funny.

You know with China opening up and a lot of countries went crazy, because they are saying that the Chinese are going to spread the virus?
But for the past 6 months alot of MSN are accusing The China Government of locking up their citizens with no human rights?

The Koreans did something really funny to the Chinese past couple of days.
All Chinese Citizens to travel to Korea need to hang a Yellow tag around their neck and it needs to be visible during their visit.
The yellow tagged Chinese visitors will be chaperone by military guards and security ( armed) by the way.
And their media will be filming them when they arrived.

Funny as fuck.... but reminds me of the Jews during WW2, albeit a much friendly version.

Huge contrast from the way South East Asia welcomed back the Chinese visitors.
The Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand went to the airport and welcomed the first batch of Chinese tourist.



:rofl:

Blair, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bolton all the worst war criminals of the 21st Century. Putin joined the club and the Saudi's want in.

The fact that Blair then went to be special envoy for the United Nations in Israel/Palestine tells you everything you need to know. Preaching peace and selling weapons.
Thought that he solved the troubles in Ireland and then believed he was a messiah. Fucking hate that guy :rofl:

Paradox is that Blair is also my first name ^^



Makes sense from a military standpoint and also a ideological standpoint. "The West" is not only countries in western Europe or the US. Its similar systems that include (to a varying degree obviously) individual liberty, human rights and democracy.
I don't see any authoritarian dictatorships in NATO
