  1. Eastern European countries that use the soviet gauge railways are risking invasion as Russia can use the railways all the way to their countries. Switch to european standards for your own safety.

  2. It's amazing how US asked for invocation of article 5 on twin tower attacks and then eventual invasion of Afghanistan. But somehow gave no hoot to the NATO alliance members with regards to withdrawal of the troops. That sure left a bitter taste in the mouth of alliance members.

  3. But remind Putin, "didnt you asked to join NATO when you first spoke personally to US president Clinton"? Maybe it will remind him that he himself tried to be part of NATO.

  4. It's THE EU, not NATO that's prevented war between France and Germany and Germany with Belgium and Britain. That's what's triggered global war before, several times.

    NATO cannot prevent war between its member States so hasn't prevented anything.

  5. The slavic nation and Balkans should have stayed as it was back in the day.

    They'll never be European, they don't look or speak like an. European or American.

    I'm Asian and we'll never be European or American.

    You can join the block but just a minority, joining American or European society. Again you don't look or speak like European or American.

    I'm not racist. However, it's the fact and key factor in the current political world. Africans and Asian will always be where they come me from no matter where they live or their citizenship.

  6. "what should NATO do next?"

    Well lately there have been rumblings that China is afraid of a NATO expansion into the Western Pacific.

    However once again would that be possible if the nation's in the area near China we're not worried about China being a military threat to them?

  7. In order to prevent NATO from expanding 1 inch Eastward so to speak we I suppose would have had to tell the other countries that were interested in joining the alliance that we cannot do so and however they would be free to create their own alliance and perhaps we'd be free to support them to some extent.

    I suppose in retrospect I actually did wonder when everything started falling apart in the Warsaw pact Nations whether or not that meant that NATO could kind of like this band because I mean we could use a lot of that money for other things.

    But apparently the former Warsaw pact nations were afraid of Russia coming back in the future and with what's happening in Ukraine I suppose there is cause to see that as a possibility.

  8. Yeah that is rather telling that a lot of the former Warsaw pact Nations basically were chopping at the bit to join the NATO alliance.

    Those Nations had the experience of living under the Soviet system and I guess that they are rather remission of wanting to rejoin that or have that same system in another form forced down them by Russia.

  9. The US is also one of the current weaklings of NATO. They have no serious mfg capability to produce armaments and munitions en masse, and they are committing financial suicide along with the EU by sending the US dollar in an accelerating decline as a result of its own actions

  10. The USA must have MAGA, or we are all in deep shit. Stop wrecking yourself spoonfeeding power to us, lead by example and MAKE YOURSELF STRONG

  11. They were very hygienic at that time 23:47 and OC they would talk low about Trump. Fuck Europe. Pay the SAME amount of money or fuck yourselv. US people do not have to carry you in their shoulders, are you little children? And about China, get real please. Thei military is not even close to US, sinking carriers, tanks fueled with water etc. Quality isnt the same as quantity. Propaganda is what they do, like Russia.
