BRUSSELS, June 9 (UPI) -- The U.S. representative to NATO said Monday she would like to see Russia as a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

"Speaking as a mom and as a strategist and a lifetime student and friend of the Russian people, I would love to live in a world where Russia wanted to be a NATO member and Russia had met the very high standards that NATO sets for openness, democracy, reform, rule of law that new NATO members must meet," Victoria Nuland told RIA Novosti.

I think it was a very backhanded insult to the Russians myself. I like it.

Well that would make NATO obsolete. But then it is already. Europe doesn’t have the will to defend itself.

On the surface this sounds off the wall.
Then again, the way Russia is going perhaps
corralling them in such org. and other countries
also holding them accountable may be
an interesting approach.

Her husband is conservative Robert Kagan who has worked
in the gov. etc.

I thought the ACTUAL role of NATO was to defend against Russian aggression.

Gawd, might as well have Al Qaeda join the UN Human Rights Council.

Speaking as a mom and as a strategist and a lifetime student and friend of the Russian people...

Could someone remind me what percentage of Federal employees are RATS? Isn't it something like 90%?

I disagree. There are lots of countries within Europe, be careful you don’t look stupid by lumping all of them into the same basket.

Do you need educating? I can help.
