Re: Should NATO be folded in favor of a European Union unified command?
Slavs love America. Its just Serbs who hate us and it happens to be Serbs on these boards. German speaking people tend to resent Americans for doing the same thing to the Russians that we did to them. Its good to see that spite governs your actions more than your own territorial integrity. You will definitely have s wonderful life living under the Hegemony of an increasingly autocratic Russian despot who relives battles from history in real time

The sad part is that Russia won't hesitate to crush the Serbs if the need arises. Ukrainians are far closer to Russians than Serbs will ever be, but that didn't stop Putin.Originally Posted by ICantSpellDawg

US, UK, CAN, NZ, AUS: All these European Nations…
“The sad part is that Russia won't hesitate to crush the Serbs if the need arises. Ukrainians are far closer to Russians than Serbs will ever be, but that didn't stop Putin.” So Putin will finish the job you started?
Mind you, Putin didn’t “crush” Crimea did he? USA liberating Iraq did it with far more damages for the civilian population, not speaking of the siege of Fallujah…

Bah, Americans think they're hot stuff and think they can pick a fight with us. Just ask the other nations that tried to pick a fight with us, ask them how it was. Ask the Roman Empire, Ottoman Empire, Habsburg Empire, Third Reich, Soviet Union... Oh, that's right, you can't - they don't exist any more!!! [EVILLAUGH]Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha...[/EVILLAUGH]

I think Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania would be somewhat worried if NATO broke up.
Poland is somewhat too much EU-back garden for Russia to dare attack anytime soon though.

Serbs, naturally.
Re: Should NATO be folded in favor of a European Union unified command?
The Serbs have been disgraced around the world. I know Serbians who tell everyone that they are Yugoslav because of what the Serbs did to the nations who were trying to rebuild away from their control. Nobody is picking fights with Serbs because you don't kick a dying dog.
No offense, but it would be depressing to still live in Serbia or the Serbian Republic in Bosnia. Living in the past and tilting at windmills isn't going to maker Serbia better.

Re: Should NATO be folded in favor of a European Union unified command?
So far, I find it interesting that the LEAST valued option is for NATO to continue as is. BR patrons are about evenly divided on "Fold" or "Expand!" No half measures here.
I also find it intriguing that both PVC and ICSD view the treaty as a form of "entrapment" but one says it traps the USA and the other that it traps Europe.....
