Keating calls Nato head a ‘supreme fool’ over plan to open office in Asia
Paul Keating has waded once more into foreign policy, this time attacking Nato secretary general Jens Stoltenberg as a “supreme fool” for his push to expand Nato’s reach into Asia. Nato has said it intends to open a liaison office in Tokyo.

In a statement on Sunday, Keating said French President Emmanuel Macron was right to caution against straying from Nato’s “design and focus” saying the alliance had prevented Europe from achieving “peaceful unity” at the end of the cold war.

Keating said “Europeans have been fighting each other for the better part of three hundred years” and warned that “exporting that malicious poison to Asian would be akin to Asia welcoming a plague upon itself”.

Of all the people on the international stage the supreme fool among them is Jens Stoltenberg, the current Secretary-General of NATO. Stoltenberg by instinct and by policy, is simply an accident on its way to happen.
Keating also said China represented a fifth of the world’s population and that Stoltenberg “conducts himself as an American agent more than he performs as a leader and spokesperson for European security”.

Emmanuel Macron is doing the world a service putting a spike into Stoltenberg’s wheel – reminding all of us that Nato is a military organisation, not a civil one and an organisation focused on Europe and the Atlantic.

I take exception to this. Were I rich, I’d enjoy the hell out of one of these (should I be able to find one).

your pleasures are your pleasures...
to me that would be the same as setting that money on fire and enjoying the pretty colors...apparently my ear is not that discerning, it all sounds the same to me. My Sony earbuds sound as good to me as the bose or technics ones i have tried, that are TEN times the price.
i paid around $125 for the logitech speakers hooked to my computer, and they sound just as good to me as the Klipsch set up my friend has, that was $400.
I guess the sole advantage of having tinnitus is that you don't feel the need to spend a lot of money on a sound system you aren't going to hear a fair bit of.

Do news sites have editors anymore? Does anyone? The link is corrected, the article is not..."A record share of Americans IS living alone."...Well, is that a fact, Cletus? Does they have insurance?....
It is a fairly interesting article, though.
could have been a Brit. They treat collectives as plurals. Example: “Jaguar are premiering an exciting new GT …”
