Nato is so full of shit.

[mistermack]

Virtually every statement by Nato is bollocks these days.

They started the Isis crisis, they did fuck-all about it, they wasted billions of taxpayers' money arming the wrong people, and they eventually armed ISIS by default.
They ignore the shit that Saudi Arabia has stirred up and financed, and their entire middle eastern policy is to promote people who will be friendly to Israel.
They criticise Iran for researching nukes, while covertly allowing Israel to build up stocks.

And now, they carp on about the Russians, for helping out Asad. Who, like him or loathe him, does represent the majority in Syria, and anyway, is the only credible alternative to ISIS.

Who the fuck do they think is going to win that conflict, if not Asad? There's nobody else who has the slightest chance. If I was Syrian, I'd be supporting Asad. What other choice is there?

So like I said, Nato is just full of shit, they might as well change the name to "Friends of Israel", because that's all they seem to think about these days.

No cure for The Middle East, been like that for a awful long time. Maybe the wise men of the M.E. will concoct a new religion out of the current conflagration to entertain the world with? A new best seller?

On this, we are in complete agreement

NATO: policy: Bomb people back to the stone age, complain when they start acting like savages, bomb them some more. It all makes sense if you repeatably hit yourself on the head with a hammer.

What grates with me the most, is the poodle-like way that the British media report each Nato statement, as if it's the unchallengeable truth, written in stone, when it's usually a complete pack of lies.

If you want a real conspiracy theory, look no farther than the British media.
They are definitely heavily biased. You can't just rely on them for your information. Disinformation would be more accurate.

I quite like the Russian channel, and Al Jaziera. Not that I believe them either, but you do get stuff off them that the BBC and ITV etc suppress and don't want you to hear.
In other words, the British media lie by omission.

I watch Al Jaziera and RT as well, though I know they will be full of bullshit when reporting on their own countries. Still checking out different news sites is the only way to get a near as possible balance view.
