E
asier to kill than care

August 18, 2019 news

After years of U.S.-led NATO states’ wars, theft and aggression in the Western Asia and Africa, warring states close their ports and a “charity” boat makes news for itself picking up people displaced by NATO belligerents, some as late as U.S. President Barack Obama’s HR Clinton’s legacy causing Libyans to flee into the Mediterranean Sea.

As foreign wars proceed endlessly mostly stranded African migrants find an “unwanted, “no more room for you” on a southern island of a NATO member state — Lampedusa Island whose inhabitants were bombed by the Americans and the British after World War II; and from which, four centuries earlier, the Turks has extracted “a thousand slaves.”

Today, NATO Italy’s head of state (without outrage or action from Italy’s Vatican pope) — having issued strict orders to stop migrants from docking at Italy’s port — wants no part of migrants at sea.

Oppression and war making against people who have been rendered helpless is “presidential,”  “fashionable,” easier to execute by nuclear-arsenaled, arms-selling states that it is to care, to rescue and to make community. NATO is a relic of the Cold War and a U.S. maintained war-making machine.


A
s of 2019 the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was sporting 29 member states (including the 1949 original 12 founding member states), a tiny percentage of global states compared with the nearly 200 Member States of the United Nations general Assembly and the long and varied history of their representation.

Slovenia (2004)
Spain (1982)
Turkey (1952)
United Kingdom (1949)
United States (1949)


With nearly 200 to under 30, I firmly believe that caring is far easier than aggression.
