    Literally anything to distract from his pedophelia and avoid doing something to benefit Americans.

    NATO WASN’T THERE WHEN WE NEEDED THEM

    Did the United States, the actual country, get attacked? Someone drop bombs on NY or something?

    It’s Greenland this week, is it? What I don’t understand is how normal Americans aren’t actually dying of embarrassment.

    And if Poland would’ve unilaterally attacked Russia somewhere last year, Trump would’ve immediately sent out the fleet and start the bombing on Moscow because that’s what NATO does? Yeah, didn’t think so.

      NATO is a specifically a defensive alliance, unless Trump says otherwise. Or at least, that’s what I’ve read on Facebook and Twitter.

        The US admin obviously knows this. It’s just gaslighting/bullying/distraction, as it is with almost everything they say.

        In the same way it’s a mutual agreement until Trump would’ve dumped the Strait of Hormuz problem on whoever came to help and then retreat quickly while giving a rambling speech that boiled down to “so long suckers!”

    Last week, Trump called NATO a “paper tiger”and said he was “absolutely” considering to withdraw from the 32-member alliance, arguing that European members have relied on U.S. security guarantees while offering inadequate support when Washington needed them most.

    “Defensive alliance refuses to join ridiculous war of aggression, news at 11.”

    “Trump can’t attack the alliance forever without making it hollow,” said Michael Feller, chief strategist at Geopolitical Strategy, as Iran was “testing unity” by offering Spain and Turkey waivers to get their oil via the Strait of Hormuz.

    Russia is widely believed to have interfered in both elections that got the guy into office. The fracturing of NATO sure is great for them. Incredible ROI. China is a pretty good friend of theirs too. Where will Europe be if China reaches for Taiwan and Donny has pissed in everyone’s beer? Even if it’s always TACO time and he never grabs Greenland, he’s an unreliable partner in anything.

    He’s not necessarily directed by anyone to cause all the havoc, such as pawing at Greenland again now. He’s enough of a loose cannon to cause trouble by himself, especially as Iran threatens to embarrass him as weak in front of his most ardent supporters and he needs a new distraction from both that and the Epstein files.

    Where can I find some biased “fake news media” where they actually talk about realistic interpretations of the facts on the ground?
