NATO was set up to defend Western Europe from possible invasion by the Soviet Union. Now it makes plans for attacking Russia.

I can't see how attacking Russia could be justified in a world like this one, nor why we should maintain an alliance for that purpose.

I disagree with some of the article's other points. I think the almost bloodless displacement of the Taliban from Afghanistan might have lead to a better Afghanistan if we had not dropped it from our attention to prioritize the unjustified attack on Iraq. Of course, there is no way to make sure.

US senators have introduced a bill to put sanctions on the president of Honduras and on the Honduran military.

Australia's renewable energy generation is growing so fast that the market will compel shutting several fossil fuel plants by 2025.

Many companies are using Covid-19 as an excuse to terminate (for all practical purposes) telephone support.

Inaccessible sites are a problem for more than just blind people. I am not blind, but many websites are inaccessible for me because they demand visitors run nonfree JavaScript code.

Fortunately I found a vaccination site that would make an appointment by phone.
