NATO, you lover boy!

The Secretary General of NATO and Russia’s envoy to the alliance have voiced their differences on family relations in Central Asia.
The two officials were speaking with journalists in the Kazakh capital Astana, which hosts the security forum of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council, NATO’s structure for relations with European and Asian non-members of the alliance.
Dmitry Rogozin, Russia’s representative in the Russia-NATO council, lashed out at the Partnership for Peace program, saying it was a vehicle to drag new countries in NATO, and now it has outlived itself.
“NATO’s expansion has bogged down. It can’t happen anytime soon, I’m sure. Even for Georgia and Ukraine it’s impossible, not to mention other countries,” he said, adding that the North Atlantic alliance doesn’t know what to do with the Partnership for Peace.
The Russian diplomat gave a very vivid description of how he sees relations between NATO, Russia and former soviet republics, in particular Kazakhstan:
“It may happen that a loyal wife is courted by some men, who give her flowers. NATO is courting Kazakhstan.”
“You can’t compare our relation, a family relation, with that with some stranger coming to your hope with pie and trying to make you like him,” Rogozin said.
The comments made at the sidelines of the forum didn’t impress NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer. When cited Rogozin’s words, he said he didn’t agree at all.
“I would express my disagreement with Mr. Rogozin, if he did make these statements. I don’t see NATO as anyone’s lover. We have a political role of our own,” the official said.
He added: “We want nations of the region to decide for themselves whom to cooperate with. How far they would go in relations with NATO is their own business.”
The enlargement of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization has been a matter of great concern for Russia for years. Moscow is uncomfortable with the military bloc with decades of history regarding the Eastern bloc expanding towards its borders, especially when it comes to former states of the Soviet Union. NATO says there is nothing to worry about.

Boosting friendly but pragmatic ties with AfricaFriendly but “very pragmatic” is how President Dmitry Medvedev described Russia’s relations with African countries during a visit to Namibia. |
The Partnership for Peace has two purposes. The first purpose comes from the need to keep NATO officials in their positions, after they outlived their reason to exist. This is the self interested purpose. They use the technique of pushing boundaries, to get a reaction, the reaction, justifies their existance, so they push again It is a well tried police stunt, hit someone, get an aggressive reaction, then claim, you need more police and powers, because people are violent. The second purpose is more subtle, NATO acts as a well honed extreme capitalist tool, the purpose is to use the cover of democracy, to break open total capital opportunities, in national markets. The extreme capitalists, as opposed to business people, look to crack open and control national markets and resources completely. They see nations and states as a hinderence to the huge margins obtained by taking control of other nations assets and optimising on the resulting value chain. They basically want to feed on the resources that are available in other countries, in an absolutely exploitative manner. NATO offers a convenient tool, because its costs are paid by ordinary people, but its use is for the extreme capitalists, who have their entry point into the main players government and thus control NATO.
TO: RT, et al ~~ "KOU: Encounter | Meeting Together" "...On the whole, this hexagram employs the image of a man in the fourth position wishing to meet the woman in the fist position, but he is unable to do so. He has four competitors and she is ambitious in her desire to conquer. Moreover, her contact with some of the other lines precludes any involvement she might have with the fourth line. There is no chance for a correct response between them, because each is in the wrong position. The fits line should be yang, and the fourth line should be yin. Although the literal Chines translation for this hexagram means "to come together" it is impossible to do so." Yarrow stalks wisdom













Nato is nothing else than the tool of America's hegemonial arrogance. As long as strong honest leaders will not have made the USA and their european prostitutes face the real facts, nothing will change. No other country has 700 military and spying installations worldwide. No other country has a quarter of the US annual armament' spending. No other country came up with that crazy anti-missiles defence; knowing perfectly well that it is useless, concretly unfeasable but the perfect tool to corrupt peoples and create a tremendeous insecurity's climat. No other country has been and still is the initiator of all weapons of mass destruction, actually aviable to mankind. If an appropriate atmosphere is settled in the July meeting between russian and american leaders, we could see the beginning of a new World-Order. Unfortunatly, what the new american administration and those who really govern the USA show since Mr Obama became the US president, look more like what I previously called the Barnum-Obama-Circus. Our best hope will be that, regardless of the traditional diplomatic usual furberies, Mr Putin and Medvedev expose the true facts, and what is expected from the planet Earth main troubles' maker. If it is not done, the historians will have something rather sad to write about, in the next decades. Sorry Future Generations. Sincerely. Jean-Claude Meslin
