#3 1) There is no NWO, yet, Joe.
2) Turk that said that is just a self-important buffoon.

#4 First of all, there'd have to be enough left over to join, and second, is NATO now a country club (oooh, good pun!) or a mutual defense pact?

#5 A self-important buffoon in Turkey, Spike Uniter? Perish the thought!

#6 I wasn't aware that Merkel ran NATO. You'd think Germany would keep her busy enough.

#7 given that Germany has been the state pushing hardest of all against NATO membership for Georgia, I suspect if Germany says Georgia will be a NATO member, Georgia (or whats left of Georgia) will be. Given the POV of US, UK, and New Europe, its pushing on an open door for Germany to support it - who is going to block it, Berlusconi?

#8 who is going to block it, Berlusconi?

Well, they are rather dependent on Russia for energy these days.

#9 What difference does it make if the remains of Georgia join NATO. In a test of wills between the Russian godfather and you'reapeon solidarity, I think we all know who wins.

#10 So why doesn't Italy build nuclear power plants? We all know why the Germans are down on them - crazed watermelon Greens whose pregnant mothers were scared by Jane Fonda and Michael Douglas, followed up by the Soviet disaster at Chernobyl. What's the Italian excuse? No money, or their large and loud Communist minority?

#13 Another?
You're going to run out of memory in the pooplist file.

Doubtful. Besides, if posters quit being idiots/morons/a**holes/trolls, it wouldn't be thought to be a problem, would it?

#14 Is that pappy's color?

Should have known.

Sez the brave one posting from an anonymiser in Germany.

For the record, I wasn't the one who poop-listed him. I'm not sure what he said to deserve it. But he's been dancing on the edge for some time.

Seems to be a sport with some folks here.

#16 #8, yeah, but so are the Germans. I mean Italy can still WANT to block Georgia, but are they really gonna stand alone against US-UK-France-Germany-New Europe?

#20 I find all this trolling upsetting. Sorry, I am out of here. I can't take this abuse. I'm weak. I'll still come here as Joseph Mendiola when the Percoden runs out.
