I find it curious, not to mention ironic, that NATO is out of its pond, contemplating the growth of militarism in the Pacific. Really? And NATO is here to protect us right? Nothing interesting in the Atlantic hemisphere happening? You need more business?
I'm a professor Jeffrey Sachs fan though. He's not another knee-jerk Russophobe, dime-a-dozen type. So hey, I'll keep an open mind. That a Quaker magazine would bring this event to our attention is quite appropriate. No endorsement of NATO is expressed nor implied. I'd say that's obvious, but bears repeating.
