  1. Walks into a club, insults and threatens everyone there, tries to steal stuff, pushes people around, starts a fistfight, says everyone else lacks merit

    NATO is a defensive alliance. The US launched an unprovoked attack on Iran, NATO has no obligation to help and it shouldn’t. Hope this helps

    NATO is a defensive alliance and that doesn’t apply when the US decides to attack someone unprovoked.

    I know Trump’s dumbass doesn’t know that, but Marco clearly knows it and it peddling dear leader’s bullshit.

    Ah so you suck at wars that you created and now you’re taking your ball and going home.  

    I hope everyone knows that the US leaving Nato will never happen.

    Fine. Let them go, it was always on the cards with Trump.
    Disband it. Create a new European defence alliance, include Canada, Australia, and Ukraine.
    Meantime, guns & bullets, we/they need to churn them out in quantity, home-grown. If there’s *going* to be a shooting war with Russia, as seems apparent, let’s be armed when they come.

    lol you insulted nato allies war dead in Afghanistan, never consulted with them when before starting this war, threaten Greenland and slap tarrifs on them and you expect them to join an illegal war ? 😂😂😂😂😂 nato is for the North Atlantic not the Middle East

  7. DingleBerrieIcecream on

    If Rubio ever thought, deep down, he could actually have a good chance of a presidential run, Trump is certainly removing that possibility every day.

  8. Makes sense, Putin’s been against NATO for decades. No joke, everything the US is doing is helping Russian interests.

    It’s a defensive alliance you piss ants. You are the aggressor you fucking melts.

  10. just on schedule as anyone predicted

    insulted allies

    pissed off allies who offered help

    then asks for help and is declined

    blames nato

    creates fake justification to leave nato defensive treaty when this moronic administration invaded.

    donald trump is a russian asset

    he has screwed over America horribly and is waiving sanctions for russian and iranian oil DESPITE that russia is providing intelligence to iranians regarding US military assets. donald really does want to make russia great again

    he is a traitor to the United States (and let’s not forget that donald attempted a failed takeover coup to overthrow democracy in the USA as well as stole classified documents that he used for financial gain)

    Article 5 was invoked only once in history and that wasn’t to come to the aid of Canada or any European country. Now the non-US NATO members are getting strong-armed once again by an incompetent American administration to send their men off to a war the US and Israel started despite NATO being a *defensive* alliance. After being insulted and bullied for more than a year to add insult to injury. On top of all of this, how sure can the non-US NATO members be that US security assurances are worth the paper they’re written on? Because if we’re taking a look at the Ukraine situation (who if I’m not mistaken did get some sort of guarantees in 1994) or the Gulf States getting hit by Iran on the regular…signs increasingly point in the direction of US “assurances” in reality being worth jack shit.

    Now if we take all of this into account and realize that current-day NATO in practice may only and solely exist to serve American interests, then I can’t help but feel that the US as a NATO partner might be a liability above anything else. So yes, possibly a reexamination is long overdue, but maybe it’s not the US who should crave for the reexamining.

    Just a thought.

  12. Fuck off. Starts an illegal war like a moron to distract from the President’s paedophilia then expects the rest of NATO that they’ve been slagging off and tariffing for over a year to bail them out when it goes sideways. It’s a defensive alliance, dipshit.

    GTFO.

    NATO is a DEFENSIVE organization, you absolute fucking idiots.

    It is not there to follow you into the world’s dumbest war YOU started.

  14. ScatteredSignal on

    NATO came to your motherfucking aid after 9/11. Bunch of losers. Fuck I hate the US government.

  15. NATO doesn’t go to war on some buffoons hunch (lie). We still remember iraqs WMD’s that we’re travelling around on a train, yet never found.

  16. Bishopjones2112 on

    It’s not a snub. When the states don’t talk to anyone in NATO and then at the prompting of Israel unilaterally attacks Iran during a period of negations and when everyone warned of the consequences, get fucked. NATO is a defensive organization, Iran did not attack the United States, Iran does not have nukes and was not an immediate threat to the United States or any other NATO member. Not to mention the fact that the United States has done nothing but belittle and threaten its NATO allies. So yeah Marco can come up here to Canada and sit down and we can talk about it like adults, he should bring a hat, so he can go fuck it.

    Also we don’t approve of helping pedophile criminals through the rest of NATO.

    You mean NATO, the DEFENSE pact? Trump and his circus of idiot clowns can’t end fast enough.

  18. sachiprecious on

    How dare NATO not give us the help we actually don’t need anyway!! Traitors!!!

  19. TheHumanGnomeProject on

    Let the US exit NATO. It’ll be so much easier to defend Canada and Greenland from the US when the US can’t exert so much financial coercion anymore, when petroleum is traded in rubles, yuan, rupees, and euros. When everyone agrees the US is an unreliable ally. Ally in name only. When the French and Swedes are supplying the aircraft and the Brits and whomever else are supplying the weapons. LET THEM EXIT (just make sure everyone is spending the 2 % of GDP or better and keep everyone else in the fray, maybe even add a good guy that isn’t in the North Atlantic, like Australia or something).

  20. This was all desired from the start. The current administration seems to be hellbent on destroying all soft power, alliances, and now even hard power. If a Democratic administration did half the stuff this administration did, conservatives would be foaming at the mouth calling them “traitors.” But…silence.

  21. This is because the Orange Idiot thinks NATO is just another military he can command. He has no concept of how it works, just that he can’t control it.

  22. hellranger788 on

    When the defensive alliance isnt an offensive alliance.

    Who wouldve thought all that shit talking our allies and even threatening annexation would bite us in the ass.

  23. If they leave under Trump NATO can add a shit load of conditions for America to be allowed back in once it grows up into an adult country.

  24. DanDanDan0123 on

    Didn’t Congress pass a law the President can not leave NATO? Signed by President Biden?

  25. NoPresent9027 on

    In 5 years NATO will be de-Americanized militarily. The leverage is gone. Soon America will no longer be an integrated member of NATO. FAFO.

  26. It’s like before anything they do, they ask, how could I make this the most worse possible
