Pravda: NATO is like an "aging and unemployable drag queen"
Like an aging drag queen who can no longer make a living from dressing up in skirts and parading onstage in disguise, today, no amount of make-up can hide what NATO is, and has always been: a wolf in sheep's clothing, living a pack mentality, eternally looking for a new lamb to slaughter. Ukraine is its raison d'être, the chance for survival in an existential crisis.
For many years, NATO has been looking for something to do, like an odd-job man living in a deserted ghost town, like a skilled factory worker in a robotized plant, like an aging and unemployable drag queen who has gone to seed and whose pot belly turns her into the subject of ridicule when she tries to stuff it into a skirt, these days playing to bawling audiences of drunks.
....
Barack Obama and David Cameron, the pack leader and chief poodle of NATO (my apologies to real Poodles), have said that it is unacceptable that Russian troops are operating in Ukraine. Firstly, in their positions they should either stop lying through their teeth or else get their facts straight: there are no Russian troops operating in an official capacity in Ukraine, there may be volunteers who spend their leave fighting the pro-Fascist, anti-Russian forces from Kiev, out of a sense of duty. There are also volunteers from France, for example. Oh, la la! So why not impose sanctions on Paris? Secondly, what do they say about US and British troops on the ground in Iraq, and Libya, and covertly, in Syria? So if it is unacceptable that Russian troops operate in Ukraine (defending Russian speakers), which they are not, how is it acceptable that American and British troops were operating in Iraq, (which they were) outside any auspices from any legal entity? So it is not about freedom and democracy, it is about lies and hypocrisy.
