Letter: No faith in Nato
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Macedonia is full of Albanian refugees and is, willy-nilly, becoming host to Nato troops which outnumber the local army. The Macedonian government is desperately trying to maintain stability in the face of the increasing passions of its own ethnic minorities. The swelling number of Kosovan refugees is making it increasingly very difficult. It does not take a genius to figure out that a government that has been and is bending over backwards in order to avoid violence will not be able to sustain it for much longer.
At the moment the pressing concern is this: are we not creating a safe haven which will eventually become another Kosovo?
Are we helping Kosovans to survive this humanitarian catastrophe or are we helping them to build another "Kosovo" further south in Macedonia?
Can the horse not think before meddling in another country's future?
