Arthur, I think you live in Canada, right? But you translated this sermon from the original Russian? And you seem to know a lot about the history of the area. Do you have family or relatives over there? Sean Osborne - Eschatology Today - March 7, 2022 9:33 pm By the way and before anyone asks, not mentioning the Trump Administration of January 2017 to January 2021 was deliberate. President Trump was an emergency brake applied to the Global elites plans wrt Ukraine and Russia. Remember how a normal phone call between Trump and Zelenskyy resulted in a completely bogus impeachment attempt. Remember the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax that dogged the Trump Administration for 4 years. And now that Special Counsel John Durham has his focus on the Clinton campaign of 2016 - how convenient the threat of a New World War is. Tom Clancy wasn't this good of a political thriller writer. March 8, 2022 - 6:15 am What were the three purposes/objectives behind the founding of the North Atlantic Alliance (NATO)? 1. To deter Soviet (Russian/USSR) expansionism. Have these purposes/objectives been achieved. 1. Yes! Soviet expansionism was deterred, so much so that the Soviet Union collapsed and ceased to exist in 1991. I'm no longer waiting to see the rise of the "ten toes." They rose and unified into a political and military alliance concurrent with the establishment of the State of Israel, that is between 1947 and 1949. These European nations rose together from the ashes of WWII. In 1955 the 10 Nations of the Western European Union (WEU) associated together in political and military alliance (Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom). In reality the WEU was an expansion of smaller alliances after WWII. The first was the military alliance of the UK and France in 1947. In 1948 Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg joined to form the Western Union. Then in 1949 the WEU was created and formalized in 1955 with the addition of Portugal, Italy, Norway, Denmark and Iceland. These 10 nations were joined in 1949 by the US and Canada to form the North Atlantic Alliance, NATO. - Fair Use - Per Amir’s telegram March 7th March 8th No problem … to the rescue is … :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn - Fair Use - "Natural gas pipeline from Israel to Europe" --- wow its all playing out just as we've all been talking about here for years. So amazing to see it unfolding. All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go.... Well, I used a translation program. 😉 I am no means an expert on the area but I grew up on the Prairies where there are a lot of Ukrainian immigrants. Russian, too. So, I am became familiar with their culture and became interested in their history. Not to mention their food is amazing. :good: I also have a Jewish friend who was born in the Ukraine during the time of the Soviet Union who keeps me in the loop. 
2. To forbid the revival of nationalist militarism in Europe through a strong North American presence on the continent.
3. To encourage (strengthen) European political integration.
2. Yes and No. In Western NATO militant nationalism was largely suppressed. With the Eastward expansion of NATO to include former Soviet Republics and former Warsaw Pact nations (Eastern NATO) this has been a work in progress. In northern and eastern nations wishing to join NATO this rremains an issue yet to be dealt with.
3. Yes! NATO is the primary reason (backed by US military power) that the stability existed to permit the European Union to become a central government for the whole of Europe. NATO is the army/navy/air force of the European Union.
