    A quick scan of the 'net did not uncover any other report on the alleged modification of the charter.

    This can give rise to two conspiracy theories. Either 'they' are suppressing the report or 'they' are floating 'fake' news in order to . . . .

    Regards, stay safe 'n well.

    He recently said NATO is not keeping up with munitions and said countries should convert their industries into making munitions. Russian did this years ago.

    You mean, Voltaire said that?
    IF the Russians converted their industries into making munitions years ago, then they should have no problem winning this war. But it seems to take them awfully long, just to get their act together. Unless, of course, this is somehow their special plan.

    This is because of either socialist laziness or socialist disinterest in defending their own countries. NATO's main objective is now to defend all NATO countries under any circumstances since most of these NATO countries are socialist and would rather build large Ferris Wheels or build car free zones in cities, for examples, than have an army which could defend itself....Let's just call NATO 'universal military care' (like universal health care) for eastern European countries...:roll:

    No wonder more and more socialist European counties want to join NATO...The US pays for most of the services of NATO and socialist European countries don't want to pay for their own military protection.:roll:

    Yeah ... seemed to be there for a bit "Coalition of the Willing" .. but starting to fade curdle and break .. longing for the days in the warm embrace of Russian Gas. Politicians in Germany pubicly expressing this groundswell sentiment .. energy heavy industry crippled ...

    And now we find out - International Terrorism .. this act of sabtoge .. US - Norway - The folks that did the deed those who were there many expressing immediate regret .. realizing was dumb move ..

    You are right, I, too, can't find anything else to that topic. Let's wait and see.
    Have a safe night!

    I know, France is quite disillusioned with NATO. The Germans are also fed up to fight for others, especially for the Americans.
    Aren't there already some 28 countries in NATO? They wouldn't be fighting each other! The only real threats are from China and Russia. And they would use nuclear bombs, which NATO doesn't have, except for the Americans. The Americans would be the only targets of China and Russia. What on earth could all these little European countries do with their bows and arrows, now that Germany has given away their super tankers, "Leos #2"?
    If the big planners had any brains, they would put their thinking efforts into figuring out, how to get along with each other. Does that go over their brain capacity?? Nature already gives us enough challenges to deal with.

    Yes, the pipeline sabotage was a real dumb, childish deed. Hurting Germany, their faithful vassal the most, but also the other European countries. What for? What do the Americans gain from it?
    But then, NATO was meant to keep Germany down.

    To get caught so soon after is painfull ... will increase the fissure. "Do as we say - not as we do" foreign policy ran its course .. was all good untill others started to do as we do. The move from unipolar to multipolar will not come without pain... this one the realization that we can't do that stuff no more ..if we don't want others to follow.

    And now this .. International Terrorism .. of the exact nature that we don't want other nation states engaging... can you say "Welcome to Chaos" where Nation States are hijacking ships .. cargo .. oil . .. kidnapping people .. assassination ... . the whole system would break down

    In the gentleman's club we don't do this Sht .. cause as the good book says Don't do to others what you hate .. Rabbi Hillel.

    I can't say what Russia's strategy is. I'm just sure they have more missiles and ammo than what we were told a year ago.

    Follow the money. Wars lead to huge paydays for some war related industries and war related financiers.

    Anyone who thinks the claims in this OP have merit should note that the article underneath it on the website repeats claims that the US caused the earthquake in Turkey & Syria. This is not a website dedicated to facts, but to the worst sort of anti-US/anti-Western conspiracy garbage. I have read numerous articles from it over the years and they are all absolute trash that rarely contains verifiable or accurately reported facts.

    That should also tell you something about those who consider it a credible source.

    They just keep denying and lying! Do it long enough and enforce it with some laws, and it becomes the truth.

    Voltaire might have misinterpreted the message out of Brussels; no one else has broadcast this news about NATO. So, under the carpet with it!!

    Sorry, I have not heard of any regrets from the "Terrorists"!!! Are they actually capable of feeling sorry for what they did? Probably only because they cut into their own flesh. Who, in his right mind, will still trust the USA?

    One of the fascinating things about forums like this is to see which posters are drawn to one another. Always illuminating.
