When the Soviet Union broke apart in 1991, NATO had 16 member states. Seemed like a good idea at the time for it to dissolve but TPTB went the other direction and now NATO is up to 32 member states. Latvia, Estonia and yes recently accepted Finland are directly on Russia’s border. Regular war games are conducted in the Black Sea, right off the Crimean coast. So who is the aggressor over there?
Thanks, Robert, for brightening up my day. Good to know I'm not alone in my optimism<g>. A urinary infection is pale compared to the grind of daily life.
That newsletter was so revealing and disconcerting, that I washed my vitamins down with bourbon before going to the gym. Yikes!
Very entertaining piece, Robert.
