  • So much for Joe's Nato unity

    I always wondered why admitting countries like Croatia was considered a benefit for Nato. They bring nothing to overall military capability.
    I'm not aware of any real strategic value like Turkey.
    It just makes consensus more difficult.

    But there it is.

    And you're making Biden responsible for anything a NATO member says,
    forever. The Croatian government supports NATO. The presidency is a
    ceremonial post so his opinions don't have the weight statements by the
    prime minister have.

    Has Shmoo scottw accidentally revealed the inanity of his agenda?

    And you're making Biden responsible for anything a NATO member says,
    You like to give him credit for it so why not?

    This admission seems to confirm that all of Shmoo scottw's "opinions" are merely the opposite of what MINE says.

    How infantile.

    Even so...we all know it was really the war that created unity.
    Not Joe's magnetic personality.
