European Tribune - Comments - The Clash of Frames

The author is asking that NATO be dissolved. So logically, that implies that he doesn't think NATO countries should be treated differently than non-NATO countries. Because he doesn't want there to be NATO countries. I think you are really off the mark on this one DoDo.

Re: The Clash of Frames (none / 0)

That sentence still doesn't parse, whether you dissolve NATO or not. If NATO is dissolved, would he argue against closer US ties with Britain on the basis of the crazyness of defening Suffolk and Norfolk (be it attacked by a future EU Evil Empire)?

I don't know. Ask him. That article was about NATO.

And you really can't dismiss the complexity of US-British ties anymore than you can dismiss the complexity of Georgia-Russia ties. We have baggage. We have history.
