NATO: Dying Or Already Dead ??? (KIA)

DevilDog · Jan 16, 2013

Today NATO is the world's the leading alliance of the world. And the most active one, even more than EU. BUT now I see that it's not as active and aggressive as than it was used to be during the Cold War. And we still wait for UN Resolutions to act. If we look into the last deployments like Libya,Kosovo,the Horn Of Africa,Afghanistan and Turkey in the following weeks. I see that we are loosing our power. Today it's no more than exersizes and open gates for high tech. Some say that Afghanistan was a failure. Well, it's not. But it's goin to be, no doupt on that. And libya? Well, it wasn't a failure at all. Also not a succes, just to try the new combat strategies; joint naval air raids with missile support, possible use against iran. And now article 4 is approved. Patriots goin to be deployed. But for what? Of course not to protect turkey or to target iran. Turkey can easily defend itself in this situation. And a few batteries aren't enough to target irani air capabilities. As a result, it's just to give a clear message to the world that Old Sam is still the owner of this planet, and ready to defend it's allies (NATO Partners, South Korea, Japan, Australia and Israel nothin more). And the alliance will defence itself together not only us. Again it's just a message nothin more. And I wonder to know what's gonna happen next? NATO Intervention in Syria and Iran? Or just the Failure Of US Foreign Policy?

For me NATO was already dead since we started the Operation Unified Protector

NATO is like an expensive V-12 you can no longer afford to fuel up. The purpose, of NATO was to deter USSR, which doesn't exist anymore. Now the NATO is hardly anything but a military tool in the hands of the global corporate empire and their cynical agenda.

If it's dead, then obviously the Russians would have nothing to worry about it installing anti missile defense. Since they obviously have something to say about it (very vocally), i'll say it is still alive and it's purpose is the same as it has always been. Defend the free world.

I agree with you guys. But come on how many nato countries support and directly involve in operations except for us. If we count that fact there would be only 19 members not 28. I'm talkin about 19 founder member states, the others; fiasco.
