Precisely, Tresy. The very fact that it *doesn't* manage to intervene when
intervention is really needed would in my view serve to underpin the charges
of structural evil in NATO (and the U.S.-led geopolitical system as such).
Why
shouldn't it? In the words of Spiderman: "With great powers comes comes
great responsibility." I fail to see why the leaders of the U.S. and NATO be
an exception to that moral rule?
