Scimus autem quoniam diligentibus Deum omnia cooperantur in bonum, iis qui secundum propositum vocati sunt sancti. And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints.
NATO could have disbanded in concert with the Warsaw Pact. Bill Clinton’s foreign policy team, Russophobes all, demanded to march NATO to Russia’s western front and flanks, then over them into Russia if economic and covert subversion of Russian institutions had not already made a full military occupation there a mere walk over.
Now NATO must surrender to Russia, unconditionally, and perforce disband. How many problems does this solve? EBB might sing of them, . . . Let me count the ways . . . .
I believe this is the decision arrived at by Presidents Putin and Xi during their recent gatherings in Moscow: NATO must surrender and disband, some 30 years after the opportunity emerged for NATO’s voluntary sensibleness.
Principle I
The United States have no authority in the domestic affairs of other nations and expect other nations to reciprocate by not feigning authority in our domestic affairs. The United States have interest in the lines of communication running between The United States and all other nations. We expect ourselves and other nations to bear fairly the burden of keeping those lines open, safe, reliable, fair, and clean for use by all nations.
Principle II
The United States welcome comprehensive strategic partnership for the new era with our brother nations India and Russia, for correlation, coordination, and promulgation, from their perspectives, of the ground of statecraft set forth in Principle I and urge Japan and Egypt to join us for that endeavor and commitment.
Principle III
An order to deploy which lacks or frustrates intent to compel an enemy to sign a declaration of unconditional surrender is an unlawful order by the Rules of Just War, the Conventions of War, Common Sense, and the Spirit of America. An order to deploy conveys this intent to the Commanding Officer: win this war / battle in a timely manner at the lowest possible cost to yourself and your enemy or do not come back alive.
