I and so many others have struggled to understand why we need a world “war machine” in society today and finally, Fogh Rasmussen, NATO’s titular leader, has provided the enlightenment:
NATO is a “peace movement”!
I now understand that the NATO dropping of the most bombs since WWII on Yugoslavia in the early ’90s was actually just blanketing the area with peace droppings.
Clarity now exists for NATO’s recent peace initiative in Libya, i.e. just exercising their Responsibility to Protect, using the tools of peace such as missiles, bombs, etc.
NATO’s decade long Afghanistan mission comes into view as actually one of “spreading peace” near and far while roundly scolding the indigenous folks if they didn’t understand.
Then there is the on-going U.S. and NATO supported march towards peace in Syria, with assistance from many of Syria’s friends such as Saudi Arabia. Syria’s leader, Assad, just doesn’t seem to get it that War is Peace and peace is what is being thrust upon him and his country, gushing in from Turkey, Iraq, etc.
Russia should not be concerned about the ring of Aegis missile systems being deployed around them, as it is merely a “friendship ring of peace”.
Finally, well not really finally, as “1984” reminds us that “The object of waging a war is always to be in a better position in which to wage another war” (reminder: war is peace), which now makes clear to me and hopefully the millions of citizens of Iran that they should just hold on through the many debilitating sanctions being imposed upon them, because peace is coming!
NATO and friends/partners are even now preparing their peace offerings and delivery tools because they fully understand their responsibility to protect you! Peace to all!
“Everything faded into mist. The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became truth.”
1984 is now !
