Wasn't this the very point of establishing NATO? To protect the smaller countries from an attack like this. Damn. I'm ready for him to just be gone from this planet, any day now.
Even if he understood (I doubt he does but perhaps) he wouldn't even care cause NATO doesn't give him tribute to helping the world keep peace.
Amazing what one person elected(?) can do to the world order.
I sort of thought during his first term the people who elect the country with the world's most powerful alliance shouldn't be just by their own country or at least be due to revue by the alliance's participants. As much as it sucks for sovereignty we are in a different place these days, hell perhaps we weren't aligned enough before.
Am Canadian so having our neighbor do this crap is horrifying.
Yes I know that goes against a country's democracy but perhaps times have changed for alliance requirements. The US made themselves dependable and that should with stipulations to be a part of an alliance.
I've had conversations with my far right relatives. They hate NATO, the EU, the UN and any other organization that tried to help people. They were happy when trump broke protocol by leaving the queen behind during a visit.
They see this boorish and cartoonist character as strength. They're delighted that the world is in turmoil
The point of establishing NATO was to have a military capable of threatening the USSR.
The point of NATO was to have a mutual defense pact that doesn't include wars of aggression that the USSR wouldn't ignore even without nuclear threats, but sure.
Something makes me doubt you apply the same rhetoric to the existence of the Warsaw Pact for some reason.
Well no, the Warsaw pact was a defensive organization, theres a fundamental difference between the foreign policy of countries where capital dictates policy and communist countries.
They are literally both defensive pacts
