@GenericJes @jacobotweetsnow @akoz33 Nobody is demanding NATO join the fight, but Europe is actively blocking US efforts.

@GenericJes @jacobotweetsnow @akoz33 Yeah well like Trump said. We will remember. Don't be surprised when all US troops are out of Europe by next year. The NDAA allows redeployments by a simple majority vote in congress without an actual treaty withdraw. So bye bye Europe.

Europe has inadvertently destroyed the argument that the U.S. does not need sovereignty over Greenland because of NATO and a defense agreement with Denmark.

@GenericJes @jacobotweetsnow @akoz33 NATO attacked Serbia without Article 5.

@GenericJes @jacobotweetsnow @akoz33 That's BS. NATO attacked Libya and removed Gaddafi without Article 5.

@jacobotweetsnow @akoz33 Iran has been attacking the US since 1979.

@akoz33 Not so. NATO and the defense agreement with Denmark have not been tested because the US was not attacked.

@hokkori_nekko This is wrong. I apologize for my ignorant country men. 😡

ここ数日で日本がアメリカに好かれ過ぎて、植民地になりそうで草

@AlexHollings52 The F-16 had the knick name of lawn dart after it came out because of the many crashes it suffered.

Before we see the same tired takes about F-35s crashing a lot, this is the 12th F-35 to crash out of 1,310+ delivered. That means less than 1% of F-35s built have been lost in crashes. At this point in the F-16’s service life, we had already lost 100+ Vipers in crashes.

@jhogan8088 @NewReaganCaucus The NDAA is voted on every year. He can set the troop levels in Europe to zero with a simple majority vote without having to officially leave NATO.

@NewReaganCaucus A law passed in 2024 prevents him from leaving NATO without an act of Congress or 2/3rds of the Senate. Marco Rubio co-sponsored the bill. We’re not leaving NATO-Trump’s trying to make them nervous enough to re-arm.

We're worried Trump wants out of NATO and recent events have helped him make that argument to his base.

@kengakusha1 It could happen both ways. Democrats playing conservative could try and offend Japanese folks as well.

The craziest discovery from this war: Iran’s regime has way more fans in Europe than in the entire Middle East 😂 Europe.. what on earth is going on with you!?

This how you drive a wedge. Don't do this.

@e_evancik @StateDept Thanks Edward. It's been informative.

@PSouls2 @StateDept Yep, probably. NDAAs are annual bills, Congress passes ‘em every year with a straight vote (simple majority in both chambers, then prez signs).

🚨 SECRETARY RUBIO: If NATO is just about us defending Europe if they’re attacked, but them denying us basing rights when we need them, then that’s not a very good arrangement. That’s a hard one to stay engaged in and say this is good for the United States.

@e_evancik @StateDept So the way I understand it next years NDAA could set troop levels to zero with a simple majority vote?

Rubio’s right, no treaty forces permanent troops. But FY26 NDAA (signed Dec ‘25) locks U.S. Europe forces at min 76k, no drop below without SecDef certifying to Congress: ally consults, security risks, full impact. Just red tape. Trump could push, but it’d drag. Bases? 1951 NATO SOFA (London, June 1951) covers legal status, jurisdiction, taxes, but termination’s slow: any party denounces after 4 years, 1 year notice to U.S. Actual basing rights are bilateral (Germany, Italy deals), pulling those needs host talks, not instant. So leverage exists, but it’s messy. If allies won’t host for Hormuz ops? Quiet drawdown’s possible, just not clean.

@StrangeAlienSky @Jadestormchase It was actually a Japanese American who gave us the Fujita scale for tornado strength rankings.

@Jadestormchase I felt like tornado chasing was an almost entire American phenomenon. I never would've imagined there were people in Japan so in love with weather they would travel to chase such dangerous storms. That is amazing! I hope you stay very safe but get some great footage!

@e_evancik @StateDept The NATO treaty does not actually require US troops to be in Europe. Just pull out all the troops without officially leaving NATO.

@StateDept The problem is, it takes 2/3 of Congress both parts to end us in NATO. And a 1 year notice.

日本には、自分の気に入らない党派性の人のことを「ネトウヨ」と罵倒する人びとがいます。アメリカでいうところの極左です。
