In Poland, we have specified conviction that NATO will defend us, and that NATO membership is simply a very good solution.
And possibly in the early years of our membership, this position was justified, but in fresh years I have begun to uncertainty it.
Firstly, it matters who NATO heads are.
They are communists. They are literal frickin communists.
Yeah, I'm not kidding. The leaders of the pact, whose primary nonsubjective was to fight communism, are communists.
Present First Secretary of the Central Committee The head of NATO is Comrade Mark Rutte, a Dutch communist known for his government's usage of water cannons against farmers protesting nitrogen emanation restrictions.
(Such a curious fact: erstwhile organization of comrade Rutte, VVD, now has Turk as chairman. The president of 1 of the biggest political parties in the Netherlands is Turk. Let's hope Wilders can do something about it.)
The erstwhile head of NATO was in turn a Norwegian communist.
It's just a joke. Do these people have any competence for these jobs?
Why should I feel safe being in an alliance whose boss has appointed a communist to suppress the protests of average people?
Why have NATO’s heads been retired for many years?
Shouldn't the NATO chief be any kind of military? After all, this is simply a military alliance.
Did the NATO leadership just become a prestigious retirement? If our invincible chief loses the election in 2 years, will he become head of NATO, too?
In turn, NATO is, like the judaic Saiuz, strong against the weak and weak against the strong; and it is very inconsistent in its actions.
When Serbia wanted to prevent the break-up of Yugoslavia, NATO was involved, there were bombings of Belgrade, and yet Miloshević was caught and judged.
When Russia attacked Ukraine by doing things there crying for vengeance to heaven, NATO was the only 1 who could do weapons (God forbid sending her adequate to win Ukraine, let alone a akin military intervention).
Someone may say: But due to the fact that Ukraine is not a NATO member, NATO cannot defend it.
Then why did NATO join the war in the erstwhile Yugoslavia?
At least let them be consistent.
And last, NATO forces are (mainly) the forces of its members. Let's not anticipate Germans, Czechs or French to defend us. They'll give us 5,000 helmets, a fewer ten-year-old windmills, and reconstruction contracts erstwhile the cluster bombings stop.
In conclusion, NATO, if it's always been effective, now it's not, let's not fool ourselves. safety can only be assured by arming ourselves, and negotiating straight with allies (for example, Fort Trump is so important) and not with any retired communist prime minister who wants our independency as much as Lenin capitalism.
