Politicians want NATO to "respond" to non-armed "attacks" which might be nothing but propaganda.

If the response to a non-armed "attack" is made in kind, without arms, it does not require the formality of NATO, or any treaty. It would be nonmilitary cooperation between governments, which they can do without NATO.

It follows that this proposal is really about permitting NATO to launch a war in response to non-military action. That seems very dangerous to me.

Israel intends to increase its attacks on Gaza, and is buying more ammunition from the US to kill more Palestinians.

Uganda's repressive anti-gay law is being challenged as unconstitutional.

Some of the Greeks who shot the immigrant workers whose pay they were stealing were acquitted of human trafficking.

The "public inquiry" into the murder of Alexander Litvinenko will not really be a public inquiry. Even its conclusion will not be entirely published.
