The rest of NATO really needs to form an inner circle that excludes America. We're a massive liability to the organization.

They could call the select group "NATO Gold". Being excluded from a select organization that has the word 'gold' in its name would really piss Trump off.

This is a perfect example of conservative MAGA values. They want a heirarchy system where the chosen people at the top are given special privileges and are effectively above the law. This is what .makes MAGA so foreign and hard to understand for so many people.

Know your enemy.

Fuck off and die you fat megalomniac pedophile rapist cunt. The united snakes can suck cock in Hell.

Ah yes, the hallmark of sophisticated management: everyone has to express an appropriate level of support for all decisions, especially bad ones.

You mean the country that has pissed away all of its weaponry and is currently losing a war of choice against an enemy that is, generously speaking, a 10th of its strength?

Yeah, NATO's gonna be sad to lose it.

Hey so, I serve in a NATO military. Here is my statement:

Fuck Trump, fuck anyone that supports him and fuck those that allowed the USA to get this shite. Any American that opposes him, I will buy you a drink.

pathetic...

They should assume they already lost US protection. What's happening in the Strait of Hormuz shows how much it actually is worth. This is a geopolitical tactic as old as time, they don't have the capacity and are losing ground so they have to see who grovels so they can find their next mark, but NATO is already losing US protection given how much they've signaled it - although it's not like right now it's anything but symbolic.

I hope all our former allies realize that there's NOTHING they can do to restore that protection during the reign of Clown King. No amount of licking his orange balls will work. They must turn away from us and move on as quickly as possible.

Why? Because he spoke in front of the UN general assembly on September 25 2018 and they laughed at him. If you think that's just too stupid an explanation, if you think he can't possibly be that insecure and petty, finish your nap before you reply.

A normal person would feel that humiliation and go through a cycle of emotion, maybe including an initial anger, but would ultimately self-reflect, conclude those world leaders can't all be wrong, and strive to improve. He's not capable.

But why does he keep making up with the dictators of the world after very public spats? Because they've never publicly laughed at him.

His insecurity is paired with a deep feeling of inferiority to all the worlds' leaders. When Kim, Putin, Xi, etc. fight with him, they lower themselves to his level, so even though they're fighting, he feels like they think of him as a peer. When someone laughs at him, he knows that they don't respect him. He knows they can see through his preposterous facade. He can't pretend they don't, like he can with the dictators.

No imminent geopolitical reality exists that will snap him out of it. No amount of his rivals debasing themselves will unring that bell. No protection "deal" will ever be honored because the sting of humiliation can't be salved with signatures.

Where is the line? When do we stop this nonsense?

so he's just openly running a racketeering ring now and nato has its thumbs up its butt?

Trump loves to bully America's allies.

NATO is weaker with America in it. It is best if they kick out America and continue on, sooner than later. America is just gonna backstab NATO before Trump's term runs dry, assuming he doesn't kick off an 2nd American War.

In the case of a civil war, NATO would probably support the ReUnion against the Neo Confederates. Because, bluntly, an Dogey America is simply evil and cannot be ever be a good partner for any decent nation. Putting down a rabid dog would be prudent, rather than letting it wander free to bite nations at random.

There is a turkish saying "Until you cross the bridge, call the bear dear.", which is exactly how every NATO country would play along.

He wants you to break up with him.

Starting to doubt if America can even defend itself after depleting missiles against Iraq and attacking fishermen in the gulf. Someone just go for it already! Trump will have to live with the shame of being one of the few presidents that had a foreign power attack the US.

Everyone can see what works best for healthcare, work/life balance and quality of life. It's not what russia, argentina and maga is doing. More restrictions and harshness is the opposite of what successful countries do and it's obvious in data, but all these people keep going for the right wing propaganda and ignore the data on how to make a healthy civilization. More of the controlling, just obey us, keep people in scarcity and stress so they don't realize how much the system screws them over and reject it for what's healthier for humanity,

Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.
