Why Does NATO Still Exist?

     For over a century now American politicians have made a habit of flexing this country’s muscles abroad and have consistently made matters worse rather than better. Our entry into World War I by the first Progressive president, for example, led to Germany’s humiliation at Versailles, which paved the way for the rise of Hitler and the deaths of 70 million people in World War II.

      Now, the western elite, after 25 years of eastward expansion of NATO toward Russia’s border, is on the verge of igniting another world war and for what?

      NATO, headed by the U.S. was founded to protect Western Europe from the Soviet Union, which – as a Marxist country – was ideologically committed to the destruction of capitalism around the globe.

      But Russia is not the Soviet Union. It has no desire to conquer Germany or France – let alone the United States – and nothing in its 1,000-year history suggests that it would develop such a desire. So why does NATO still exist? Why didn’t it disband with the fall of the Soviet Union? Why does it keep moving east? It has nothing to do with Europe’s security.

      They arrogantly ignore Russia’s concerns and blithely advance NATO weapon systems eastward. How does that serve our interests or the interests of peace? Why are we trying to increase the chance of world conflict rather than decrease it? And what’s the logic of driving Russia into an alliance with China, our chief enemy?

      There was a time, right after the fall of the Soviet Communist state, when Russia was the Wests friend. The Founding Act on Mutual Relations, Cooperation and Security between NATO and the Russian Federation that was signed in Paris, France on 27 May 1997 states, “NATO and Russia do not consider each other as adversaries.” It also states, “The present Act reaffirms the determination of NATO and Russia to give concrete substance to their shared commitment to build a stable, peaceful and undivided Europe...” Undivided? There you have their biggest lie unless you consider the promise not to expand NATO.

       Why does NATO still exist? It does so because after the fall of the Soviet Union there was a vacuum which was originally filled with the western elite. It didn’t take Russians long to see they were going to be exploited in every way. The expulsion of these opportunists is what set off the western elite. The Founding Act was a ruse to move their military, the elite’s military – NATO, closer and closer towards the Russian border until Russia said, enough!

      The western cabal can put lipstick on this pig as much

as they want but the facts are clear. NATO is the military arm of the western elite and peace is not their goal. Russia, in the past twenty- five years since the signing of the “treaty,” has only taken back territory where the majority of inhabitants are Russian and have experienced massive discrimination, violence, and/or death under the current regimes.

      In his famous farewell address, George Washington advised us to have “as little political connection as possible” with foreign nations. We would do well to heed his words. Beginning with the Progressive, Woodrow Wilson, U.S. interference abroad has yielded numerous disasters in the past, and we are living through one right now. It’s time to for us to practice some humility and stop being a war-mongering, war for profit entity before it’s too late.
