"This war has nothing to do with NATO. It's not NATO’s war," Stefan Kornelius, a spokesperson for German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, told reporters in Berlin on Monday. "NATO is a defensive alliance, an alliance for the defense of its territory," he added.

Good answer. Fuck Benjamin and Donald Ducks war. They don't even know why they did it. NATO is not for undocumented wars.

    In fairness, they know exactly why they did it:

    For The Idiot: Israel needs our help to stop the 40-something-year-old "imminent" threat of an Iranian nuclear bomb (that was supposedly already stopped earlier last year when we "thoroughly destroyed" thir enrichment labs."

    For Bibi, it's an opportunity to realize Israel's version of manifest destiny, and to kill people he doesn't like. Remember how everyone was all, "Boy I hope W doesn't go nuclear on the middle east" after 9/11? 10/7 has had the same effect on Bibi, except he was predisposed for the merciless violence. He's never seen these adversaries as "people." W rarely thought about them at all.

    This is how you stop nukes

    2015 Iran nuclear deal, Iran agreed not to pursue nuclear weapons and allow continuous monitoring of its compliance in exchange for relief from economic sanctions.

    President Donald Trump withdrew from the agreement in 2018. He broke his 2016 campaign promise to renegotiate the agreement.

    Why kill a entire country when removing one guy is enough ? If the trump dictatorship felt Iran would be more open for a cease fire. May be China or Europe can step up and assume the role of mediator when some give trumps surrender to Iran

    Oh wow looking at your other comments are you by chance a teenage male, maybe early 20s? Because you very much read like an angry highschool student with big strong oppions based on very little reading and no concept of strategy.

    Damn dude bummer for Israel then. Guess they should have been working to arm locals within Iran to overthrow the IRGC so the Iranian people could be free of their own tyranny. Oh wait I forgot. If they did that and no religious zealots were in charge, odds are they’d stop funding Hamas and other groups for proxies and Bibi wouldn’t have a boogy man anymore.

    There was this guy called Ayatollah Khamenei who was the religious leader of Iran and opposed the development of nuclear weapons. Wonder what happened to him.

    Ah. You don't know about the Mossad CIA operation that started in the 80s and is still running today. You see Epstein and Maxwell gathered blackmail on the most rich in powerful people in the world. Israel is now using that blackmail trove and intelligence gathered from years of selling governments software to expand Israel into "Greater Israel".

    Did you also miss Ghislaine being invite on the 9/11 shadow council?

    There is a huge difference though. No terror attacks on USA, they already said they "nuked them back to zero" with the other operation. They couldn't define what the end-goal is for operation fury.

    They don't even agree on why they do this internally. And now they want other states to join in on a war happened because of Trumps small dick. I say fuck no. Let him have the consequences of this retarded administration for once. Let him dig his own grave.

    The United States is absolutely part of NATO.

    And Israel functions as a forward operating base, from which European military powers can control the Suez and the Eastern Mediterranean. It's fundamental to the Western allied control of North Africa and the Middle East, even before you get into its function as a money laundering outfit and testing bed for military technology and policing strategy.

    European leadership has a closer relationship with Israeli military than Turkish military, as a point of comparison.

    UN exists for that purpose, NATO does not exist for that purpose.

    Tbf I don't remember many occasions in which people were complaining because NATO should have entered a conflict to stop a genocide.

    Serbia should have been allowed to genocide more Muslim Bosnians and Albanians.

    The NATO intervention killed and displaced more civilians than the Bosnian genocide.

    The Serbian president Slobodan Milosevic had shown his ruthlessness earlier in Bosnia, and now, facing armed attack from Kosovo nationalists, attacked Kosovo, killing perhaps 2,000 people and causing several hundred thousand to become refugees.

    An international gathering in Rambouillet, France, was supposed to try to solve the problem diplomatically. But it presented terms to Yugoslavia that seemed certain to be rejected: NATO control of all of Kosovo, and NATO military occupation of the rest of Yugoslavia. On March 23, 1999, the Serbian National Assembly responded with a counterproposal, rejecting NATO occupation and calling for negotiations leading “toward the reaching of a political agreement on a wide-ranging autonomy for Kosovo. . . . ” The Serbian proposal was ignored, and was not reported in the major newspapers of the United States

    The following day, NATO forces (meaning mostly U.S. forces) began the bombing of Yugoslavia. Presumably, the bombing was to stop the “ethnic cleansing” of Kosovo, that is, the forcing of Albanians out of the province by death or intimidation. But after two weeks of bombing, the New York Times reported (April 5, 1999) that “more than 350,000 have left Kosovo since March 24.” Two months later, with the bombing still going on, the figure had risen to over 800,000. The bombing of Yugoslavia, including the capital city of Belgrade, apparently intended to unseat Milosevic, led to an untold number of civilian casualties.

    From the People's History of the United States, Chapter 24

    Also Ghadaffi should have been allowed to butcher his population.

    Again, the French airforce and subsequent NATO occupation has killed an order of magnitude more in the last decade than Ghadaffi managed in his entire time in office.

    Orders of magnitude means to the power of 10, you know that right 😂 It's between 2000 and 5000

    Since when do we care about the aggressors in a conflict?

    The displaced are between 200,000 and 800,000.

    When the aggressor is Russian or Chinese.
