I think NATO Is a good organization for protect us by rusians who are stil a comunist country maiby for many years in future.Mr Putin stil give rusians a kind of milde PERESTROIKA, but RUSIA is just a poor country where many peoples live with 200 euro a month.AND still Rusia have a huge nuclear arsenal of ss misiles targeted for western europe countrys..so nato can and must protect europe of these rockets.

Nato is a mere relic of the past fighting for its survival, a lapdog of the white house. Bush and Co. are feeling increasingly concerned about the future of Pax Americana and are keen to prolong the lifespan of the superfluous organisation. The Americans are clutching at straws and the more they wriggle the more desparate they seem. Remeber their attempt to threaten the Chinese last year over the negative trade balance? The mention of 1.3 trillion dollars that Beijin could put on the market which could have devalued dollar beyond recovery was enough for the Americans to tone down their harsh rhetoric. It's not the weapons that will win this war but cash, old alliances mean little unless they are profitable to all parties involved. American colonialism is bancrupt.

NATO is basically America's foreign policy and its still being used as a cold war policy. The sooner the US get the message instead of goading Russia all the time the better. The US will not be happy until every former USSR nation is under its foreign policy control and its very idiotic for some people to think otherwise or to assume it will be better under NATO. The sole reason why NATO was formed in the first place was because of the cold war and to keep goading Russia with its constand expansion is asking for trouble. How would the US like it if Russia decided to enter into a strategic deal with Cuba whereby Russia installed its own anti missile system to safequard its own parity in Nucleat first strike capability. That's the issue here it renders Russia incapable of defending itself within a first strike capability. And even the US generals themselves admit the missile system can be easily changed to be used a Nuclear first strike against Russia.Its really against China and Russia

I'm Ukrainian and I support for my country's ambition to join the alliance. Membership in the alliance is our national intrest. And I hope that Ukraine will join NATO soon.

King George hates Slavs. He isn't welcome in Kiev or Zagreb. You Brits can entertain Bush in London instead, make merry, and all pretend the Revolutionary War never happened.
