Dispatches from
STEPHEN LENDMAN
US-dominated NATO is an imperial tool, a global killing machine, maintained for offense, not defense. Its members and partners comprise nearly one-third of world nations. Exponential expansion is planned, Washington wanting NATO’s footprint spread globally on every continent, wanting it used as an instrument for world conquest and domination.
Breedlove (sic): a fine representative of the utterly corporatized military. Totally corrupt or totally stupid, or both. Make your choice.
Since its 78-day rape of Yugoslavia in 1999, US-controlled NATO ravaged and destroyed one country after another. In his Washington Post op-ed, outgoing Alliance Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) General Philip Breedlove twisted reality, calling “the utility of the alliance…self-evident,” adding:
Gen. ‘Buck’ Turgidson (George C Scott) the crazy, warmongering general in Kubrick’s 1964 farce Dr Strangelove showed once again that art and life are often inextricably woven.
It evolved into an instrument for advancing America’s imperium, a force for endless wars, not peace. It had nothing to do with helping “rebuild the continent from the ravages of WW II.” Post-war Europe faced no threat from devastated Soviet Russia, needing many years to rebuild its war-shattered country.
