No angst over Turkey's air defense deal with Russia, says NATO chief
I think this is an absurdly naive view-point from the supposed leader of the supposedly important and relevant military alliance, of which's supposed relevance is the deterrence of Resurgent Russia. You know, I've been doing a lot of thinking about this supposed "Cold War 2.0" and in conjunction with what I and every other rational-minded person regarding geopolitics already knows, that Putin is a symptom, not a cause, of Internationalist-Industrialization and Neo-Imperialism. Now, I'm no supporter of Collectivism (or the insanity of the Soviet attempts to perfect and refine common-place human beings into worker bees and robots) but when the first Bush administration, the UN and what is today called the Commonwealth of Independent States+Ukraine installed Yeltsin (a critic of Gorbachev's attempts to decentralize) by falling for his GKChP ruse, they invited the Neo-Imperialist Kremlin we see today to effectively "reinvent" Europe and by proxy allow the dependency of the continent upon the U.S. through NATO.
With that being said...
...here is yet another unsettling and glaring inconsistency harming the credibility and legitimacy of NATO. If Putin is such a pariah and a threat (Stoltenberg assumed his post in October, seven months after the annexation of Crimea), why would this guy get the post during this time period?
I'm starting to see the big picture here, and let me know if I'm getting off track here, but:
Now, I have to ask, if NATO is so important, why is this guy allowing these two to jerk him around so much? Isn't his job to "balance things out?"
But, then I had an epiphany.

CRAIOVA, Romania (Reuters) - NATO ally Turkey is not seeking to antagonize the U.S.-led alliance by purchasing Russian S-400 surface-to-air missiles and is in talks with France and Italy to buy similar weapons, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said.

While Stoltenberg, a former Norwegian prime minister, took up the NATO post three years ago with a more conciliatory tone toward Moscow than his Danish predecessor Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Russia’s Crimea annexation in March 2014 had already badly damaged East-West ties.

I'm starting to see the big picture here, and let me know if I'm getting off track here, but:
- Putin, former KGB agent and Yeltsin protege (opponent of reform), succeeds Yeltsin in 1999.
- The Russian-Norwegian border dispute is settled in 2010, 10 years after first meeting Putin.
- NATO Secretary-General was Kremlin-backed from the beginning.
- Then he claims Russia is trying to nuke everyone.
- Then he says Trump's Talks With Putin 'Normal', despite Trump's denigration of NATO.
Now, I have to ask, if NATO is so important, why is this guy allowing these two to jerk him around so much? Isn't his job to "balance things out?"
