US to withdraw from NATO?

[Dirk the Daring]

What?

No, if Germany was attacked by Russia, the US's job is to DEFEND GERMANY. Not to go and invade Russia. They could if they wanted.

But if Germany said "we're invading Russia" the US could say "no, that's not what NATO is for".

I get the 'offensive/defensive' component, we attacked Iran so I have no issue with other NATO members sitting this one out.

But it clearly states that 'an attack against one is an attack against all.' IF Russia attacked the US, would the US retaliate militarily? So the NATO pact means that if Russia attacks a NATO member country, we would then be obligated to strike back against Russia.

Again, this is how skirmishes turn into WORLD WARS.

WAR IS EVERYONES PROBLEM.

Why?

Yeah, maybe it is.

But then if NATO didn't exist Russia would be more likely to attack other countries. It attacked the Ukraine because it isn't NATO. If the Ukraine had been NATO, they wouldn't have attacked.

See how this works?

Ya know what, my apologies. I was mistaken apparently. I, politely, assumed that your ignorance was limited to only political matters. However I see now that the extents of your ignorance extends well beyond that of politics. I figured that you were here, on the USMB, that you might have some clue as to how the internet works but it has become glaringly obvious that you don't. I would highly recommend that you get one of your grandchildren to explain things to you. But do us all a favor, really try to pay attention this time...

And what business is it of ours that Russia invaded Ukraine?

So who is "winning," exactly?

Who is in charge of iran right now? Give me a name?

It’s not Trump

Whoever is in charge has Trump by the balls

 

[Seymour Flops]

LoL!

Some some mystery man in Iran who is "in charge" but mainly "in hiding" has the president who is bombing his infrastructure, his command and control and his nuclear weapons program into the stone age by the balls?

You keep dreaming, rw.

Europe can take care of itself. It's time to withdraw from NATO and the Ukraine war. Ukraine is Europe's problem now.

Make it a hat trick and throw the U.N. out too

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Hopefully out of NATO, certainly out of the UN.

I disagree. We need to be involved, but we don't need to overpay for the privilege.
