I was just thinking about this topic as I walked back to the computer. As you are well aware, our time of service was filled with foreign sponsored insurgencies. We (my unit) and 7th Gp, were involved, separately, and some times together, in much of this. I was so young and bright eyed then.

Do you mean literate language?

It’s no exaggeration to say there has been a massive swing to wokiness and institutional deviancy–and belief-systems designed in a pie in the sky, fantasy realm of evil James Bond villains

Now there’s a little hyperbole there

5216

No, ambiguous language that only you know exactly what it means.

For example:

“Clothing NATO in stock definitions” - what definitions are stock and why are they wrong? If not them, whose definitions should I use? Putin’s,? Biden’s? Yours?

“rather than acknowledge the current changes in Allues” - What changes are you referring to? The list of countries we consider as Allies? Their changes in leadership? Their changes in associations with other countries? And who are you to say that I don’t acknowledge them?

“and their hidden agendas” - Which agendas? Their intent to associate politically with countries not currently associated with? Their intent to expand their trade agreements? Their agenda to attack their neighbors and one day rule the world? And if they are hidden, how do you know about them?

“seems blind” - Is that because I don’t voice the same view of NATO that you do? Is that just a reiteration of your vague an arbitrary accusation of “rather than acknowledge”? Or is that because the unspecified agendas are hidden so I just can’t see?

I would be more than happy to discuss this if I had any idea as to what you are actually talking about.

That force is about 3 brigades in strength, with supporting artillery and service support. It is too large a formation for the Ukraine Army to mass against without leaving a hole somewhere. They are trying to defend everywhere while the Russians are not. If they could have taken it, they would have already done so. Those forces are however not sufficient for the tactical combat superiority necessary to take Kiev. They are sufficient for aiding in an encirclement of more open terrain combat lines. The Russians will continue to bombard Kiev and the other cities, and to continue to talk (just like they did in the build up before the attack).

Also, the insurgent wants you to try and eat the soup with the knife. That is why to counter the insurgent, you identify them and go after them a bowl or cup at a time. Our special skill was infiltration of the insurgency group and population control measures to isolate them into the bowl to be “eaten.”

What do you think I am trying to say to you?

Once upon a time there was a country that was infiltrated by subversives with questionable desires to reshape your country with their unwholesome ways

5220

I don’t know. That’s pretty much the point.

Don’t worry about it. It will reveal itself.

When you stop talking in metaphors and innuendoes, using nondescript adjectives … and stop trying to insult me, maybe this could continue, but until then, there is no point. It probably doesn’t matter anyway … you’re never going to see it my way and I not yours. (I at least got that much understanding from your cryptic posts.)

5223

Yet you cheer on Putin as he arrested almost 20,000 people for protesting.

Have you been to Europe? UK is a small Island controlled by one government for better part of a thousand years and still has four major cultural groups.

if anything Europe has to many cultures its annoying.

5226

As far as I can tell, you have only said what NATO was formed to do, but have only called my opinions hyperbole and obscurity.

I don’t think it could be said any clearer that times have changed and it’s not so simple as stating NATO’S original purpose.

5227

Again if YOU want to read East Germany was allowed to rejoin Germany under NATO with agreement with Russian drunk.

In 91 Poland, Hungary and few other countries formed a group to join EU.

What happen in 91 Jay? That’s right Maastricht Treaty was drafted and evidently signed in 92 and ratified in 93.

The agreement called for a strengthened European parliament, the creation of a central European bank, and common foreign and security policies. The treaty also laid the groundwork for the establishment of a single European currency, to be known as the “euro.”

By 1993, 12 nations had ratified the Maastricht Treaty on European Union: Great Britain, France, Germany, the Irish Republic, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Denmark, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Austria, Finland, and Sweden became members of the EU in 1995. After suffering through centuries of bloody conflict, the nations of Western Europe were finally united in the spirit of economic cooperation.

Little history lesson for YOU.
European Union officially established | November 1, 1993 | HISTORY. IN 95 few more countries enters into agreement.

Now Jay…when did Poland, Hungary and Czech Republic? That’s right Jay 1999.

Yes…US did it’s part pushing NATO expansionism. Why do YOU Jay think I hold them just as accountable?

You’re not smarter then me Jay…never was and never will be.

Sorry, but you haven’t expressed any thing clearly. Had you done so we wouldn’t be having this conversation. All I know for certain is that you have a hard dislike for NATO and the NWO. The rest of it is anybody’s guess. It’s the use of terms like “times have changed” with no explanation that are meaninglessness. How can anyone give an informed response to that?

5229

You act like Russia was playing nice during the 90’s and not building their military with the goal of expanding themselves.

5230

No. I don’t have a “hard dislike” for NATO. I dislike the current crop of ideologues that have been working behind the scenes to create chaos in every country, to destabilize them. There is also a tremendous amount of corruption and evil behaviors.

5231

NATO has no control over political agenda of member nations.

Your blaming them for something that doesn’t exist.

See? I didn’t even get that right from your posts. And broad, unsupported statements like “the current crop of ideologues that have been working behind the scenes to create chaos in every country” and “a tremendous amount of corruption and evil behaviors.” are not helping.

5233

well Samm the puppet masters of the new world order are using international organization to destory the culture of Europe by installing Wokeness.

I mean look at England everyone is now British no more Welsh, Scottish, Irish, etc.
