Documentaries On Cults?

There was nothing anti-Nato into my post and not even in writing it.

What actually outrages me (not alone here, apparently) is your new avatar that is almost insulting to the EU, showing Zelenski in front of a EU flag... especially coming from a Brit, whose country left because it didn't want to be part of that.

So easy to push a victim in someone else's arms but your own.

Maybe the UK should include Ukraine inside the United Kingdom.

This toxic, but charismatic (for some anyways) clown in your avatar - no better than your own BoJo (the clown) -  has tried forcefully/blackmailingly to get into NATO and EU without any delay.

Last time an actor was president of a country (in the 80's), it was disatrous as well.

==================================

mmmmhhhh!!!...

I'd hate to think of this planet's state without USA's involvment in both UN and NATO. Overall, the USA's role has been positive, but one should accept criticism.

Seriously, The USA is a key member and rightly so, especially in the depth of the cold War - even if the cold war was +/- started by them (the Truman Crusade) and its hate of communism (look at Hoover & McCarthy's purges during the 50/60's). Of course the creation of NATO was vital to keep peace in the northern hemisphere for +/- 80 years and in 95% of the cases, troubles were happening in the "southern" hemisphere (read: whatever is south of Caucasian - white race - countries) is not to be imputed to NATO at all. Until the Yougoslavien disater (though Nato had nothing to do with that either, u ntil the UN sent them in) and now this present crisis.

But by some of NATO's members (those with "empires on whose the sun sun never sets" and the wish to keep it), like France, UK, Portugal, Netherlands, (Belgium to a lesser extent, since its empire was in the same time zone :-) ) and the US (whose empire was basically The Philippines, but considered Latin America to be its backyard).

The trouble is that those amed forces that are supposed to be keeping the peace (like NATO) are being courted constantly by weapons manufacturers - who want to increase their sales and find new markets (Ukraine or Georgia, for ex). This is valid for all coutries that have weapons industries (Belgium as well - and not just FN guns sold to "iffy states", like Saudi Arabia and the invasion of Yemen) and sometimes undermining their allies (the recent Australian submarine crisis).

Just out of curiosity, I checked which US president since WW2 ended did not throw its armed forces into a conflict during its mandate(s) and came up with just two of them: Carter (76/80), and perhaps much more surprisingly: Trump.... and Biden (so far). Of course some of them inherited the situation from the predecessors (Biden from Dubya, for ex).

All of the others have blood on their hands, whether I like it (and them) or not. Even Bill and Obama did.

I'll handle the internal NATO aspects elsewhere (or another time), but indeed, most of the European lands are fully aware that it relied too heavily on the USA's efforts without pulling their weight in the process.

Anyways, I'd hate the USA to go back to its isolationism of Pre WW1&2.

I never heard about it, but found a short documentary on him.
