    Cant see it happening, but If nato were to actually fall apart putin and xi Jinping would be licking their lips

    Try explaining chess to someone whose comprehension stops at marbles.

    France is certainly doing a lot more standing up to the fascist than Britain.

    Bold of France to think he understands big words like Euro. Or Atlantic. Probably thinks it means Atlantic city

    Good. They were also told they weren’t needed at the beginning of this. Donnie betrayed everybody.

    The thing is, NATO getting together to invade a recent partner of Russia would just prove Putin right in his claim of “NATO expansion” being a threat.

    Thats probably just another positive to come out of it for Putin poodle Krasnov.

    Trump has brain rot… It is time his followers make up a narrative that allows them to really behind some other hate filled strong man

    Trump is a selfish sociopathic moron and bully and his supporters aren’t much better, so don’t expect them to accept the fact NATO is a defensive alliance.

    It’s almost like nato was mean’t to defend, not meant to launch a war for israel.

  10. I think Rapey Don was expecting other countries to help with Operation Epstein Fury like they did with Iraq and Afghanistan.

  11. France is correct

    And of course the one time it was needed: the USA who then abused it to invade Iraq when Saudis did ‘9/11’

    While Macron cannot help himself being somewhat wrong every time he speaks, he is 90% right here

    BUT

    as usual, this continues the long-standing european tradition of doing nothing or as little as possible while talking a lot.

    US has an option to disengage relatively quickly (while losing face and diminishing our standing in the eyes of our allies/partners but that’s not something out ordinary by now). China/India/Pakistan/Brazil/regional powers have an ‘in’ and most likely will be able to negotiate Hormuz passage.

    EU/Europe, on the other hand? Not so much. “When hostilities calm, insurance and shipping firms are consulted and Iran consents” could be a long time away and all that time european economy will suffer.

  13. And it would serve to prevent Iran from attacking the US, which it did successfully.

  14. Imagine what Trump would say if France suddenly invaded Russia for no coherent reason, and then demanded America help via Article 5. Also after insulting America for years.

    It’s like building a fence around your house, then going out, picking a fight at a bar, and wondering why your fence didn’t save you.

  16. America wants NATO to invade Iran waters? Then maybe also participate in ground forces to put a puppet in Iran? What’s next? Invade Caucuses? How is it different than Russia invading Ukraine?

    I swear these neocon/dem hawks paid by Israel lobbies just own the decision making system, two party system is not a democracy.
