This guy is truly a clown (a sophisticated/sleek one) but on the other hand quite an obvious incarnation; hypes theories that conflict with realities, provides narratives that reflect ignorance / supremacist / colonialist vision when dealing with conflicts less based on values and more based on double standards, and finally a complete lack of basic comprehension when it comes to international law. It is no accident that he’s the trump man of NATO-white, sleek and ignorant. What I would say is this; in my opinion NATO is being radicalised and by extension losing (or could be in the past tense) its credibility/influence. The model in the old bipolar world made perfect sense, but with the seismic shifts in the current geopolitical landscape, the evolution of multiple powers spanning many regions and the breakdown of the value system that bound the western alliance, compounded with its own top clown in town, suggest that the current trajectory of this alliance is in 1 direction. In fact I would say that far from the old days where it was acting as a deterrent of conflict it is now – based on this flawed design – in actual fact a deliberate promoter of conflict as it mainly serves the interest of the cowboy irrespective of of the merits of conflicts-in other words its being used as an extremist ideology sledgehammer; yes extremist ideology is not only in Iran or am I confused?
Finally as a side note; ignoring the political/ideological bent to these conflicts what goes largely unnoticed (though some are now shining some light on this matter) we need to look at businesses actively engaged in conflicts and promoting them – both financially & politically – because tracing the money helps understand the dynamics that are just beginning to take hold of our lives; though this is not me being in the least bit artificial or intelligent about it.
