I don't know if your estimation of things was always the case, I remember a few years ago we had in UK a healthy mistrust of NATO.
But now we are not questioning it at all, rather we are championong its cause, we have to wonder if this might have been what Brexit was really all about, preparation for becoming the maon bootboy of the US, Our govt shoukd be very careful as we've seen, when the shit goes down, the US walks away with no concern what happens to folk who used to work with them. Come to think of it, so do we. What goes around comes around.
Personally I can't see how we can succeed against more than half of the worlds populations allied against us, even with all of the countries of Europe seemingky allied, essentially the ethincally non-white around the world can see we are actting like Nazis, and even working with self proclaimed Nazi groups, whilst pointing at the other side screaming they are the Nazis.
The sad thing about all of this is that the UK population and probably most of the Ukrainian population has been, and is being completely pummeled by pro war propaganda of the most insidious kind, with the rsult that we are committing genocide, seemingly without knowing it.
No-one is asking who the bodies of bucha really are, we are being told they are victims of Russian inhumanity when it makes far more sense they are victims of Ukranian nazi inhumanity, like those who died in the years before Russia went in.
That we can't seem to see this right now is what I find most shocking, for sure the truth will come out, we can't win on the side of nazism, it can't succeed, it didn't before, it never will.
Yes there will be war trials, but it won't be Russia on trial, it will be those commiting the actual atrocity, and in a way the populations of Europe are guilty of complicity, by allowing ourselves to be brainwashed by these asseholes.
In the end, Nato is just another fossil fueled bullshit industry looking desperately to justify its own existence, having grown to the limits of its capacity to grow, just like every other out of control corporate profit driven business struggling to show value to its shareholders, it is finished, it is no longer useful, it is bankrupt both morally and financially, in fact it is now extremely dangerous.
