We’ve been critiquing Putin’s brain-damaged and egotistical war in Ukraine from the Russian side. But I’ve thinking of writing something about the whole NATO expansion debacle, and have started to dig into some material about it. I was an immigrant kid in San Francisco in high school when this NATO business was being plotted and carried out. Looking back on it all now, it does not surprise me that at the center of this mess stands President Bill Clinton and his corrupt revolving door military industrial consultancy apparatchiks — like Anthony Lake, who went from being a hawk pushing for NATO enlargement and to going into private security state contracting to now running UNICEF, helping children in need worldwide!
