    So which is it Mark, is NATO "a platform for the United States to project power on the world stage", or is it a wholesome smol bean defensive alliance? It's truly infuriating how comfortable they are just lying and bullshitting like this knowing that CNNBCBCFoxNews will filter it out so 98% of the western population won't be any the wiser.

    Even unfiltered the memory of westerners is too degraded to remember such things.

    Eh, I don't think memory is the issue exactly. It's more a matter of paradigm. The dominant paradigm is designed so that contradictory information can slide off of it. Such as when anti-imperialism is called "Russian bots" or whatever.
