It's not glorious to admit, but seeing how you, the ebil tankies (honestly not how I saw you, but I was suspicious about many things), were right about this, I actually took the time for once to verify what I was previously waving away as some kind of exaggerations or distortions of truth. The "click" was violent enough for that. Shame on my previous lack of curiosity...

To mention a big chunk, realizing that NATO, which I still saw as a force of good despite some fuck-ups, was a complete lap-dog of the U.S. and, among other kind things, had its fingerprint on far-right terror attacks perpetrated in my country was quite a shock.
