![André Vltchek: NATO, Canada & Western Imperialism
(Winnipeg, April 3, 2019) The North Atlantic Treaty was signed on April 4, 1949, giving rise to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization or NATO. The mission of the original 12-member military alliance was to oppose the Soviet Union. With the dissolution of the USSR on December 26, 1991, one might wonder why NATO still exists, much less why it has grown to 29 members including some which are far removed from the north Atlantic.
To mark the occasion, a public forum on the role of NATO was held featuring André Vltchek, a Russian-born American political analyst, journalist, and a filmmaker who has lived in the US, Chile, Peru, Mexico, Vietnam, Samoa and Indonesia. He has covered armed conflicts in Peru, Kashmir, Mexico, Bosnia, Sri Lanka, Congo, India, South Africa, East Timor, Indonesia, Turkey and the Middle East, written for numerous media, including Der Spiegel, Asahi Shimbun, The Guardian, ABC News and Lidové noviny and appeared on various television and radio shows including France 24,] RT, China Radio International, The Voice of Russia, Press TV, CCTV, Ulusal Kanal (Turkey), Al-Mayadeen (Pan-Arabic network), Radio Pacifika, and Radio Cape, among others.
