Re NATO -- which term it should be noted the British press has perversely redefined as Nato, a proper name, abdicating the memory of hemispheric treaty organization -- the intent of the doctrine was the avoidance of war through mutual security guarantees. But according to the distorted history proffered by U.S. Republicans, NATO's function is as a hemispheric cartel which U.S. and U.K. multinational corporations operate internally as a protection racket, demanding fealty from vassals under duress of war.
Pathetic politics of terrorism.
It's baffling and shameful that the multipolar commons does not offer any advance over this cartel; the globe is operated as franchises under cartel ideology and the intellectual culture has obviated philosophy for public relations (PR).
