@HansMahncke He's testing to see how far he could push them. Now he's having a tantrum because he can't successfully demand anything from them.

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.

@HillChris98203 @WarClandestine Of course. March into Congress, the White House, all big business headquarters. Get them all out. They are all guilty.
English
@CF25424 @WarClandestine Passing a law to enforce laws that already exist is no different than taking a drug to mask the side effects from another drug you're taking. How about we just fix the fucking issue at the root level.

If 80% of the American People are in favor of voter ID, and we can’t get Congress to pass it, what is the point of Congress?
All they do is prove they don’t represent the interests of the American People. They represent themselves.

@VinceDaoTV Good luck in getting to a potential front line through the Balkans and a potentially hostile Baltic sea!
English
There’s not much of a point to still have them there, anyway.
Berlin is no longer the front line. Poland and Eastern Europe are way closer to Russia.
Italy gives us far better access to the Mediterranean.
Norway and UK have better Arctic access.
We’re basically defending nothing there. Just an outdated NATO leftover.

@CerisLioness The way it's governed should be. Jewish people should be able to live there. But as a UN mandate. The current country of Isreali needs to be dismantled and a series of trials for crimes against humanity be set in motion against members of the government and the IDF.
English
Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state isn’t up for debate. It’s the rightful homeland of all Jewish people and no amount of ‘resistance’ rhetoric will ever change that.
English
@HillChris98203 @WarClandestine But this law could effectively be used by a untrustworthy leader to control elections.
English
@CF25424 @WarClandestine We already have laws on the books that were put in place for the purpose of preventing fraud, but guess what, corrupt people don't follow laws. We have a corruption issue in this country and others for that matter and nothing will be rectified by another bill being passed.
English
@mitchellvii If so, it will be all their fault. Trump is effectively handing the mid-terms to them.

Democrats are going to get their asses kicked in November.
They have no answers for anything.

@WesternPedoWars @OgbeniDemola Iran was mainly down to the US and France. Gaza mainly the US. Sudan was because of the USA making Britain rush the de-colonisation process and do a bad job of it. Ukraine is down to the West as a whole staying hostile to Russia and just trying to get their resources.

@OgbeniDemola Britan is responsible for most sufferings in the world to this day, Gaza, Ukraine, Iran, Sudan.

@OgbeniDemola The ended slavery across multiple countries. Prohibited a lot of immoral practices in India and other countries.

@RepNancyMace If you want fair elections. Set up an independent election authority. In fact why not make the FBI, DHS and others answerable to Congress and not the President.

Chuck Schumer preaching about the sacredness of elections while blocking the SAVE America Act.
We’d call it laughable, but it’s honestly just concerning how delusional the Left has become.

You see this sign at your workplace.
What’s the first thing that comes to mind?

Literally minutes after this, we had to get up and seek shelter because the Iranian regime fired a ballistic missile at us, you idiot.
There have been 138 missile sirens in Tel Aviv in a MONTH.
We just cling to life in the brief pauses between missile attacks.
𝙎👼🏻@SZade15
Thank you for proving Iran doesn’t target the civilian areas. Stop complaining about the Iranian missiles later then.
English
@RodDMartin Wrong. Let both sides wreck each other. Let people wake up to the Rothchilds' and others' control and hopefully they will be overthrown.
English
Kill the Iranian regime and most conflicts in the Middle East (and Europe) go away. Whereupon we can draw down forces in both.
English
@JesseHughes Impeachments, not a moment too soon. DHS needs investigating, same with ICE. Regulated migration is necessary. Net negative is a unworkable spin phrase. Amnesty for who?
English
If you vote blue this November and in 2028, you’ll be voting for:
- Mass impeachments
- The destruction of DHS
- ICE agents imprisoned
- Net negative migration reversed
- The border reopened
- Mass importation
- Mass amnesty
- The destruction of any opportunity for anyone to the right of Hillary Clinton to ever win power again
You idiots will not be “teaching the GOP a lesson,” you’ll be facilitating the destruction of your own country
The blood of Patriots will be on your hands

When food shortages begin and the deliveries to shops and supermarkets dwindle to absolute zero remember the politicians and royals will have plenty of supplies.
This has been planned for years in advance.
Their vehicles will be provided for regarding fuel and so will their homes.

@HillChris98203 @WarClandestine The problem is that both sides are trying to do the same thing. If SAVE isn't passed and the Democrats are back in power, it will probably be a decade, or 5 years before it's too late. If SAVE is passed it will already be too late.
English
@WarClandestine I'm 40 and have actively been following politics since my mid-late teens. I can't recall a time where we were actually being represented. They've been selling our country off in pieces for decades.
English
@kylenabecker He isn't a king. He views himself as a dictator. Americans will lose rights if he gets his way.
English
Trump is not a "king."
No American is losing rights under this presidency, unlike what actually happened under Biden.
Kings do not even allow such protests or non-stop demonization in the press.
The radical left would rather protest imaginary problems than solve real ones.
Based Jessica@RealJessica
The number of No Kings protests by state... Alabama - 16 Alaska - 19 Arizona - 62 Arkansas - 12 California - 325 Colorado - 74 Connecticut - 51 Delaware - 9 Florida - 113 Georgia - 72 Hawaii - 14 Idaho - 17 Illinois - 105 Indiana - 71 lowa - 61 Kansas - 33 Kentucky - 40 Louisiana - 11 Maine - 56 Maryland - 74 Massachusetts - 162 Michigan - 121 Minnesota - 106 Mississippi - 9 Missouri - 54 Montana - 31 Nebraska - 21 Nevada - 11 New Hampshire - 43 New Jersey - 64 New Mexico - 28 New York - 140 And just like that...the left aren't concerned about gas prices anymore when it comes to driving to locations to protest a king that we do not have..🤣🤣

@CynicalPublius A counter balance in the region for Isreal. A dagger pointed straight at Isreal to be used as leverage on them.

Barack Obama deliberately sought to make Iran a nuclear power.
Consider what his intentions were in doing so.

@GovMikeHuckabee But with people in the right place. As you rightly know. If you don't know, just ask the staff member who always stands behind you and prompts you on what to say!

Jews are 0.2% of world population. 16 million of 8 billion ppl on earth. Critics say they "control" everything. If so, they're really good to run so much w/ so little. Jew hate really is irrational.
Vivid.🇮🇱@VividProwess
Do you see that tiny RED dot? That’s Israel, the only Jewish state in the world. They want you to believe that the tiny RED dot is the oppressor and colonizer, and that the GREEN Muslim countries surrounding it are the oppressed. Do they realize how ridiculous they sound?
English
@camer88828 @DanielBordmanOG @grok That regime had leaders who were prepared to destroy its entire country and take as many of its enemies with it. Iran is probably in the same place. Except with more dangerous weapons.
English
@DanielBordmanOG Yep.
1945 Germany ⬇️
@grok did the German military call up adolescent boys and elderly men in 1945
English
Does Iran have a 1 million man army waiting for the US forces?
Well, my great grandmother taught me a little trick for these situations. Look for 2 things:
1) Is that country currently recruiting 12 year olds?
2)Are they recalling veterans of a war they had in the 80s?
If the answer to either question is “yes”, then that country does not have a million men ready to fight.
