The destruction of the cultural and civilizational patrimony of humanity is characteristic of NATO and their acolytes. Remember the destruction of Orthodox churches in Serbia. When someone mentions culture they reach for their cruise missiles. In the incubus of imperial Britain, in Elizabethan times, a new hero emerged representing a complete break from the hang-ups of Christianity past and new, ruthless, expansionist impetus. This hero’s life was played out on the stage to popular aclaim in Marlowe’s “Tamberlaine”. NATO is the new Tamberlaine, “the scourge and wrath of God, The only fear and terror of the world’

And write myself great lord of Africa:
So from the East unto the furthest West
Shall Tamburlaine extend his puissant arm.
The galleys and those pilling brigandines,
That yearly sail to the Venetian gulf,
And hover in the Straits for Christians’ wreck,
Shall lie at anchor in the Isle Asant,
Until the Persian fleet and men-of-war,
Sailing along the oriental sea,
Have fetch’d about the Indian continent,
Even from Persepolis to Mexico,
And thence unto the Straits of Jubalter;
Where they shall meet and join their force in one.
Keeping in awe the Bay of Portingale,
And all the ocean by the British shore;
And by this means I’ll win the world at last.
