FRANCE'S JUNIOR ARMY MINISTER: NATO IS A MILITARY ALLIANCE THAT CONCERNS THE SECURITY OF EURO-ATLANTIC AREA, NOT TO CARRY OUT OPERATION IN STRAIT OF HORMUZ THAT DOESN'T RESPECT INTERNATIONAL LAW



Uh, yeah, which is why the Founders detested Caesar. They viewed the fall of the Roman republic as a civilizational tragedy.


@JadeAtrophis Please help me acquire another meme. Google will not give me that Tumblr screenshot of the post that goes "Archaeologist: It appears the ancient Israelites actually worshipped many gods. Jeremiah (weeping): I KNOW!" I turn to a man with archives deeper than mine for help.

@bonchieredstate @92huskies @neoavatara why should they do that?! they didn't want this war weren't consulted or even informed. indeed our asshat @potus gratuitously threatens, insults and disrespects these allies what did you expect? Not impressed by the post hoc justification of this self inflicted NATO crisis

If 🇺🇸 cross our border? We will kill you in sufficient numbers that U.S. opinion turns against you. We will infiltrate your cities, your farms, your factories. You can't tell the difference between us. We'll use that. That's what we'll do. Come north, go home cold. 🇨🇦



Secretary of Defence [War] Hegseth just unveiled “Greater North America”, claiming every sovereign nation north of the equator is part of America’s security perimeter (from Greenland to the Gulf of America). Calling all countries north of the equator part of a US perimeter sounds like the US is trying to establish its hegemonic position, not based on allies but on hierarchical security relationships and policy alignment expectations. China and Russia are both north of the equator, and neither is willing to give up its respective security perimeters.

Let’s be absolutely clear about what just happened. The United States of America, the country that built NATO, that spent half a century telling Europe that Russia was the enemy, that asked young men from Normandy to Kabul to die for the idea of a free world, has now chosen Russia. Not drifted toward. Not flirted with. Chosen. Trump calls Putin a genius. Cuts military aid to Ukraine mid-war. Blocks sanctions. Parrots Kremlin talking points about NATO aggression. Invites Lukashenko, Russia’s obedient attack dog, to found a peace board while Russian missiles are still hitting Ukrainian hospitals. The continent that actually shares a border with this threat. That actually absorbs the refugees. That actually lives under the shadow of what happens when Russia decides a neighbor isn’t really a country. Europe was told for eighty years to trust Washington. To buy American weapons. To let American generals run the alliance. To believe that when it really mattered, America would be there. It wasn’t there! It picked the other side and sent an invoice. Normal Americans, the ones who actually believe in something, should understand what this looks like from here. It looks like betrayal. Clean, deliberate, and permanent. Not a misunderstanding. Not a bad week in foreign policy. A choice. Europe is building its own army, its own supply chains, its own future. Because one man wanted to golf with autocrats. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1
