NATO dalla Dalmazia al Caucaso: meeting in Georgia

[glry at ngi.it]

4 luglio 2013: Incontro NATO a 14 Nazioni del Sud Est Europa (?!?...) in ... Georgia. 
Naturalmente, "per assicurare Pace, Stabilità e Sicurezza alla Regione". 
Una 'Regione' che va da Plitvice (Bosnia, 150 Km da Trieste) al Caucaso (confine russo). 
Orwell non l'avrebbe scritto meglio. 
I nostri giornali hanno preferito non scriverlo proprio.
