I believe so.

Let's scream it: even Iron Thatcher said NATO must be "more political, less militarily threatening"!

What a delicious, buried, "forgotten" Irony - even the Iron Curtain Iron Lady was ironing out the creases for peace with Russia way back then.

How often has the BBC / MSM or even our Leftish Thatcher-detesting alt-media ever mentioned that astonishing little trifle ?

Three cheers for Maggie !

Quote:
"The “Iron Lady” also pitched in, after the Washington summit, in her meeting with Gorbachev in London on June 8, 1990. Thatcher anticipated the moves the Americans (with her support) would take in the early July NATO conference to support Gorbachev with descriptions of the transformation of NATO towards a more political, less militarily threatening, alliance."
