#1 An "end to NATO military activity in eastern Europe, including Ukraine, the Caucasus and Central Asia"

Why is it in our interest to f--k around in Ukraine? In Azerbaijan or Armenia?

In Kazakhstan, Tadjikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Bumfukystan?

Can anyone --hey ShittyPants, this means you too -- anyone say with any coherence what in G-S's name is tge Anerican vital interest in any of these wretched pseudo-republics?

Can anyone say why ShittyPants's son should fight and die in Ust-Pizdusk?

"The nationalist Danish People’s Party (df), founded in 1995, agitated to shut the door on them. In 2001 it backed a conservative-liberal government, which devised today’s two-pronged strategy of repelling would-be migrants and remoulding those who settle.

"Its policies included lengthening immigrants’ wait for permanent residency from three years to seven and ending schools’ obligation to teach in pupils’ mother tongues. To bolster Danishness it introduced “canons” of culture, history and democracy into the school curriculum. Without such steps 'it would have been really catastrophic', says Peter Skaarup, the df’s parliamentary leader.
