Useless Idiots
You wrote, “Nato was created in 1949 as an alliance of free nations to deter Soviet expansionism and aggression.” THE TIMES 15 September.
The ‘Guardian’ in February 2014, proved in their four page spread that it was not the USSR but the UK that has had their armed forces in action in other countries in every single year since at least 1914. It was hoped that 2015 would be the first year since at least 1914 that the UK was not killing foreigners in their own lands.
It seems that the Cold War was stoked and Nato formed by the West out of paranoia that it was about to be attacked and overrun by the Soviet Union. This, mind you, after the Russians had just sacrificed about 25 million of their people to help us win a war they had no part in starting! Nato was formed in 1949 and continues. Their equivalent, the Warsaw Pact lasted from 1955 to 1991. In other words, formed in response to the West’s unfriendly alliance that they felt threatened them. They dissolved their military alliance in 1991. Since then, the West has continued to spread its influence eastwards to diminish Russian influence and to expand the West’s EU and Nato membership.
Fear of attack by Russia was also used to justify a huge arsenal of weapons of every description. Nato helped to give respectability to the three leading members for their many wars of expansionism, aggression and regime change around the world. So much for setting a fine example to other countries! If you make yourself an enemy, you must expect to be treated as an enemy.
The West has unilaterally strengthened itself while the Russians dissolved the Warsaw Pact and saw it Eastern bloc friends go over to the West. Ukraine was the most damaging, led to Crimea annexation and civil war that continues to this day. The West stirred things up. Useless idiots.
