Two stickers, one from a traffic sign post and another one from the tram I was riding. I think about the Turkish police while taking these photographs. If there’s a dislike button here I will click not for the images but for their attitude.

I will should be off for a while. Just arrived Istanbul. Had a good flight, took the public transport just before the rush hour. In this crazy mega-town every minute is a rush hour though. Made it to Levent, the business district of the city and now headquartered in a shitty Starbucks in Kanyon shopping mall waiting for Kikita.
Well smoke like a Turk is the subject of this short post…
NATO, the world’s biggest war machine, has evolved from a defensive to an aggresive alliance.
NATO adds fuel to the fire. Under the pretext of ‘Responsibility to Protect’, NATO attacks Libya to force a profitable regime change. This intervention escalates the conflict and causes thousands of casualties. The arms industry applauds. NATO’s intervention in Afghanistan leaves the country in tatters and on the brink of a civil war. Thousands have been killed. After a long-drawn-out war, the alliance reduces troop levels but plans for continued military presence, although military leaders admit that they have reached no tangible results so far.
While hopes are high for nuclear disarmament, NATO still deploys nuclear weapons in five European countries, jeopardizing disarmament processes and encouraging other countries to arm themselves. In times of austerity and drastic cuts to social spending, NATO members invest millions in missile defense and military power against imaginary threats.
A select club of 28 well-off countries intervening worldwide to protect their own interests, in the possession of nuclear weapons and ready to use them first, form a threat to world peace.
