It’s genuinely hard to understand why this is so difficult for people to grasp, other than sheer Trump derangement. Trump wasn’t invoking NATO’s legal obligations. He was testing whether European countries that the U.S. has protected for over 80 years would do the bare minimum to help secure global sea lanes, which American taxpayers have also been underwriting for decades at no cost to them. In this case, those sea lanes benefit Europe far more than the U.S. and Europe failed the test.

NATO members are obliged to support one another if attacked, not to join wars of choice. That stipulation was made at the demand of the US, which also insisted that the commitment be territorially limited. “The treaty does not cover the entire world,” said Dean Acheson. “It applies only to the North Atlantic area.” He made clear that this had been the key American condition. “We deliberately avoided any implication that we were undertaking a global military commitment.” The Senate, worried about being dragged into European colonial wars, had threatened to refuse ratification unless the limitations were explicit. As John Foster Dulles put it: “If it were made global in scope, it would not be acceptable to the United States.” Despite all this, the only time that NATO has gone to war was indeed out of area, at the request of the US after 9/11.

Absolute chaos in the alliance. France and the EU are screaming that Russia is helping Iran attack US bases, but Secretary of State Marco Rubio casually brushes it off saying Russia is focused elsewhere. The incompetence of this administration is staggering.

Hezbollah militants for the first time hit an 🇮🇱 Israeli Merkava tank with an FPV drone.
Hey 🇺🇲 America, are your soldiers ready for thousands of unjammable Fibre optic drones?
Tanks aren't going to save them, neither Fighter Jets, grab your shotguns and start training.

@chris_kratovil Not “deceptively disheveled”… just “disheveled”

Well, this certainly blew up, and I see our British cousins still have strong and mixed feelings about Boris Johnson. I can’t vote for or against the man, so I will sit out the wild UK political Donnybrook that has broken out in these comments. But there hasn’t been an American politician in my lifetime—and probably not since Teddy Roosevelt or Woodrow Wilson more than a century ago—who could recite from memory in Greek from The Iliad to match the deceptively disheveled BoJo. And in front of the classics faculty at an American university, at that.
English
It’s not every day that one gets to listen to a former British Prime Minister recite from memory the opening passages of The Iliad in Ancient Greek, with no notes, in response to a random question from an undergraduate—and all while wearing what appear to be Thomas The Tank Engine socks. But today was one such day.
My thanks to my good friend Brad LaMorgese for the opportunity to see the colorful and comic Boris Johnson speak tonight at the University of Dallas.

@chris_kratovil If only he’d stuck to this party trick, rather than getting involved in politics

Trump on Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince MBS today:
“He didn’t think he would be kissing my ass. He really didn’t. And now he has to be nice to me. He better be nice to me.”
This is how the President of the United States describes America’s most important Gulf ally.
The same Saudi Arabia that:
— Cut oil production by 6.7 million barrels
— Whose energy infrastructure Iran threatened to destroy
— Who the US needs to keep oil markets stable
— Who Trump is asking to join the Iran war
Diplomatic relationships are built over decades.
Trump just described the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia as someone kissing his body parts — on camera — while asking him for military cooperation.
France got an 8 out of 10. Japan got Pearl Harbor. Saudi Arabia got this.
The isolation of America is not just a policy failure.
It is a daily practice.

@g_gosden Nonsense. There's some 60-somethings, and even a few in their 50s.

@TheNewsAgents @lewis_goodall No mention of the Jewish courts, the Hatzola ambulance and Shomrim "police" services? I wonder why?
English
"Truss says Islamism is backing the UK government, for which there is no evidence," says @lewis_goodall.
"She says there is Sharia law in Britain, and that's a problem – also a complete lie."
The UK doesn't listen to Liz Truss, so why does MAGA America?

🇺🇸 Marco Rubio contradicting himself in just 60 seconds.
"We didn't tell @ZelenskyyUa that security guarantees were conditional on giving up Donbas"
"If he wants the war to end so we can provide security guarantees then he has to give up Donbas, but we didn't say that, the russians did, we just told him the guarantees won't kick in until he does what russia wants" 🤦♀️ mErIcA

And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.
A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.
Let’s keep this in the spotlight every day.

@voiceofrabbis Isn't it, in fact, "antisemitic" to conflate the State of Israel with Judaism and Jewish cultural identity?
English
🚨 BREAKING
Spain breaks diplomatic ties with Israel. Madrid has just recalled its ambassador and is planning to close its embassy in Tel Aviv.
Israel condemned the move, calling it "highly antisemitic."
Antisemitism is hatred of Jews.
Criticizing Israel is not hatred of Jews.
Zionism is not Judaism.

In Europe, we must have full capacity to produce all types of air defense systems and missiles for them. This includes protection against drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic threats.
We cannot rely on other partners’ industries. We must be confident in our own industry here in Europe. Please, let’s keep moving this work forward and speed it up.
And while we are building this capacity, please remember that we need protection from Russian missiles every single day. I am grateful to those of you who actively support us through the PURL program – it’s critically important.
From an address to the JEF Leaders’ Summit in Helsinki (3/3).

Marco Rubio: "Unlike them (Iran), we’re not bombing embassies and hotels. We’re hitting military targets."
YOU LITERALLY BOMBED A SCHOOL!
You killed over 110 innocent children!

Just a reminder that Trump hates NATO, has always hated NATO, he hates the Europeans, and he was never ever going to come to their aid ever. This changes nothing.

JD VANCE: “Iran was going to use Nuclear Suicide Vests to kill tens of thousands of people. That’s why they had to attack.”
These people still haven’t realized that we’re not buying a word of their Israeli-written propaganda bullshit.

STARMER: Our support for Ukraine is unshakeable. We’re also bringing them closer to the JEF (Joint Expeditionary Force) as an enhanced partner, and the Ukrainian Navy will exercise with us for the first time in September.
The crisis in the Gulf has highlighted Ukraine’s expertise in modern warfare. They can provide unparalleled defenses against Iranian drones thanks to their experience. We want to keep working with them to multiply that strength.

@Billbrowder @chris27795627 Did money and/or gold change hands?

Help me make sense of this. On one side, Russia is sending drones, medicine and food to Iran (in addition to targeting info of US interests in the Mid East). On the other, a group of sanctioned Russian lawmakers have been welcomed in Washington for meetings on the Hill
