    I know the western media never bother to mention it because it doesn’t align with the approved narrative

    How to say “I’m not worth listening to” without saying it.

        There’s a bit more to it than that.

        NATO is a strategic alliance lead by the US. NATO doesn’t have any feelings and isn’t pleased or displeased about anything. Instead it generally does whatever is the US believes is most strategically advantageous.

        Those strategist are typically smart people who listen to all kinds of things. They’re definitely careful about what they say though and won’t go around promoting information they don’t want suppressed.

          Organizations are composed of people, my friend. And people have feelings.

          I’ve heard the same said of Joe Rogan.

            Yes and emergent behavior goes both ways. Organizations have many properties that the individuals they’re made up of don’t have and they lack many properties that individuals have. Organizations don’t have feelings. Even in the rare cases when the feelings of the people in those organizations are homogeneous, the organizations almost never manifest those feelings without significant alterations.

            Are you seriously comparing Joe Rogan with NATO strategists?
