| NATO After Libya: A Threat to European Stability |
| 2011-08-30 |
| More than two decades after the end of the Cold War, NATO is an obsolete and harmful anachronism. It has morphed into a vehicle for the attainment of misguided American strategic objectives on a global scale. Its mutation from a defensive alliance into a supranational force based on the nebulous doctrine of "humanitarian intervention" started with the air war against Serbia in 1999 and was completed with the Libyan intervention in the spring and summer of 2011. NATO in its mature form is beyond redemption or reform. It should be disbanded. ...The threat to Europe's security does not come from Russia or from a fresh bout of instability in the Balkans. The threat to Europe's security and to her survival comes from the deluge of inassimilable aliens within the gates and from collapsing birthrates. These problems are due to the moral and cultural decay, not to any shortage of soldiers and weaponry. ...NATO is devoid of a coherent mission and strategic purpose. Between 1949 and 1991 it was successful in providing security against the threat of a hostile totalitarian power. Today, it is detrimental to the security in Europe and irrelevant to the security of its members. It should not be reformed; it should be abolished. |

| #1 Funny how the piece bashes America a bit for using NATO but then says this trend began with Seebia and ended with Libya two actions the Europeans dragged the US into somewhat unwillingly. Both of which actually could be considered legitimate regarding Suropean security. We dragged them into Iraq and Afghanistan, they dragged the US into Balkins and Libya. We should call it even and disband NATO. If Russia keeps acting up we can form a new organization in Central/East Europe. The threat alone should get the Russians to be less erratic and North Koreaish with some of their statements. |
