    Do you have a concern that NATO invaded five countries and killed millions of people?

    He doesn't understand - he has very poor English-language reading comprehension skills.

    You, on the other hand, read and comprehended the terms of Article 5 correctly.

    NATO does not need the consent if the UN Security Council. All it pledged to do was notify the UNSC in the event of an attack and military response. After that, NATO - at its own discretion - will suspend its operations after the UNSC has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security.

    The UN and Russia aren't empowered to approve or reject anything.

    That's what you think....However .... if NATO countries limited to support each other in a delivery batch of diapers ... I think the Russian will not mind.

    If we remove the disputed part of Article 5, we will see another insurance does not participate in the armed conflict for NATO -
    "such action as it deems necessary"

    Is not it?

    Besides. You, as a person with a Soviet or very good American education should be understood that all of the articles and laws - worthless. In international politics, there is one law - the law of the jungle. The right of the strong. For example the United States could with impunity to bomb Yugoslavia - they bombed Yugoslavia. NATO could blow up Libya - they did it. Could break a promise not to approach NATO to Russia's borders - they broke the promise. And they spit on all the laws. There was a time. Russia was weak. Now the situation has changed. Now Russia may restrict the possibility of the United States and all NATO countries. Therefore, for example in Syria Assad in power.

    You are arguing about nothing. Nobody is going to put the entire human race existance on the stake for the "idiot insignificant NATO members". At least I wish to think so.

    Reading between the lines of many western commentators' reportage, I'm happy to report there seems to be a reversal from only 6 months ago (in PF terms anyway) which appears to accept that Russia isn't the Big Bad Wolf any more; on the contrary many of those voices are saying what the P-E says - and some of us here have been saying - that we should cooperate with Russia against our common enemy. So it seems that sanity is at last usurping insanity, and there's hope for us yet?

    Even I’m absolutely no fan of this Donald Trump (but Hillary would have been same sort of evil disease if she had won) … I see only one positive point which is maybe coming truth if not common Pre-Election BS promising everything to get votes…

    The relations to Russia must be improved for sure and the first step is to accept that Russia is not “Unimportistan” on globe and demands same things on the globe which are for the US are self-evident in their own thinking and acting in the world.
    Major problem was and is that this was ignored by the USA, the EU and the “West” in common on one hand, as they blamed Russia for things what particularly the USA did not otherwise before without such consequences put for it on Russia.

    With Trump in head, this better relation to Russia will maybe happen … but it will cost the USA also some other things to take then … for example to accept and hold the so called Iran Deal of Obama, because if not, nothing will improve!
    And the times where the USA can demand and do what they want are since the disastrous 8 years of Bush administration for ever over.

    I know … some of you want to put Obama here in instead Bush, but fact is that it is since Bush!

    Actually, to parody it I can see Don having the same kind of rapport with Vlad as he's got with Nige. Indeed, I reckon they'd make a good triumvirate between them for global rule. Now wouldn't that just please the US lefties and the Brexit remoaners? [​IMG]

    I'm really sorry that one of your illusions was just destroyed [:

    This promise was never given. That's another of your illusion. [:

    You have so much hopes and illusions [:

    Sure ... a pervect group at least:

    Tsar Vladimir Putin who awakes the Russian Bear and depress any sort of note able opposition and what is in his mind not Russian enough
    Sultan Erdogan who switched off democracy in Turkey and who AKP party wants to legalize raping of minor girls if offender marries his victim later
    King Nigel I and his Prince Boris I who won Brexit with a bunch of lies sold to the people and where Prince Boris attacked Donald heavy before election, but is praising him suddenly after election. Maybe he is only jealous because of Trumps hair style, who knows!
    President Donald Trump who messed up and divided the USA with his extreme slogans and offends against everyone and everything what he doe snot like and what does not like him.

    Perfect world I must say ... maybe a 5. will come, because Kim Jong-Il is a fan of the 4 people here at least!

    This is going to be a real sticking point to the Trump supporters. They have been stating how good that Trump wants to have closer ties with Russia but at the same time they have been stating that the Iran deal must be broken. They seem to not realise that they cannot have it both ways. They are going to have to accept that another lie was made by Trump - the Iran deal will be kept.

    As a Trump supporter I don't care about Iran - let Israel deal with that, and let us, the US, the UK and Russia look after our own countries by keeping the barbarians out of them.

    Completely right the same what I'm thinking and saying before!

    And there are many other examples with his pre-election promises given which are countering too often with each other.
    The USA is needing exports for their economy as all others need to have, so will be interesting how he will solve this essential need together with his general America First issue and the cancelling of whatever all Trade agreements he wants to cancel.
    Not that I'm a "Pro" for these agreements in general, as well I'm really annoyed with this outsourcing disease in business world, but the complete thing has many stumbling stones....

    No, I don't know enough about the subject to give an opinion, and I never post on stuff I don't know about.

    Means ... those like the UK who created Barbary in the ME will get sometimes the Barbarians they have caused in their homeland.

    Aside that I don't like your term to blame a complete folk and religion to be...

    You need to increase your intelligence. http://www.spiegel.de/international...est-break-its-promise-to-moscow-a-663315.html

    It is not my illusion. This is reality. For example, when the Baltic countries will return to Russia, I can assure you - no one does. NATO expressed concern. Call Russia an aggressor in the European Parliament. Close the entry into the EU a few meaningless officials from Russia. That's all. They even sanctions will not impose.
    EU - a castrated eunuch. With lots of problems in the economy and the social sphere.
    It is known to all. For a long time all the questions decide the United States and Russia regarding the EU. And the EU no one asks.
    You need to realize the EU - this colony. Therefore, opinion of the colony, nobody cares.

    Whether you like it or not, it's a perfectly acceptable English word to describe uncivilized groups.

    Really uncivilized? Proofed by what?

    You know that this counterpart to you of them is telling right the same about you (and me) in the West? For example is one wording for the UK I read "Great Britain = Island of the apes in clothes". So as usual a point of personal view to make such ratings...

    Points of view are always 'personal'? Sorry but it is taking me too long to interpret your posts and it's becoming tiresome,

    OK ... in short: You blame them to be barbarians and they do with us the same!

    The term of them for you in the UK I read somewhere is in short that you are apes living on the island of apes. And we Germans are of course still all Nazis ... Understood now?
