Of all the many abominations in the Trump administration, I personally find this one to be the most abhorrent. Unlike most of the others, this one actually understands the full extent of the catastrophe he's doing his best to bring about, all in hopes of one day being president.

SECRETARY RUBIO: Why are we in NATO? You have to ask that question. Why do we send trillions of dollars and have all of these American forces stationed in the region, if in our time of need, we won't be allowed to use those bases?

If the USA does not intend to honour the obligation to defend NATO because European countries dont join an offensive war of choice against Iran that we have absolutely no obligation to join, the USA membership of NATO is already worthless.
The NATO oath to defend each other is unconditional. If you dont intend to honour it because you are offended about disagreements that have nothing to do with the treaty obligation that you have sworn to uphold, your are not a realiable ally. Tresties with you are worthless and your word means nothing.
Unfortunately, that seems to be the case for the USA.

If Trumps war in Iran leads to the end of NATO, it will go down in history of as one of the worst foreign policy decisions in American history ever.
I hope Trump administration officials will work hard to avoid this disastrous outcome.

BREAKING 🇵🇱🇭🇺:
The office of Polish PM @donaldtusk just released a statement and video regarding Hungarian government informing Russian government abut every EU move.
“What we heard today is confirmation of a very disturbing dependence of Viktor Orbán's government on the Moscow authorities. The recordings revealed dependencies, but they also showed how the foreign minister of a member state reports to the Russian minister on the completion of a task and asks for patience. Nothing more repulsive could have been expected, and this is disqualifying.”

Just a reminder that the senator who sponsored the bill which became law with broad bipartisan support that states a president cannot pull the US out of NATO without congressional approval was …
Marco Rubio.

Rubio: If now we've reached a point where the NATO alliance means that we can't use those bases to defend America's interests, then NATO is a one-way street…then why are we NATO? We’re going to have to reexamine that relationship. That’s a decision for the president.

The generation of Europeans who understood Russia is gone.
The knowledge gap they left behind is now being filled by disinformation — and the Kremlin is exploiting it.
Here's what Europe must do before it's too late: 🧵[1/7]

Rubio is conflating "defending interests and national security" with "conducting wars of choice."
NATO is a defense alliance, and the obligations under its treaty are geographically limited under Article 6:
---
Article 6
For the purpose of Article 5, an armed attack on one or more of the Parties is deemed to include an armed attack:
on the territory of any of the Parties in Europe or North America, on the Algerian Departments of France, on the territory of Turkey or on the Islands under the jurisdiction of any of the Parties in the North Atlantic area north of the Tropic of Cancer;
on the forces, vessels, or aircraft of any of the Parties, when in or over these territories or any other area in Europe in which occupation forces of any of the Parties were stationed on the date when the Treaty entered into force or the Mediterranean Sea or the North Atlantic area north of the Tropic of Cancer.
---
The use of NATO bases by the US is by agreement between the nation hosting the base and the US, not specifically via NATO. The NATO countries that have specifically denied the US the use of bases on their soil for the purpose of attacking Iran are Spain, Turkey, Italy and France. Italy and France have, however, allowed the use of their bases for logistical support.
NATO countries can decide individually whether they want to help Trump wage his war of choice. It's not actually a NATO matter. The US withdrawing from NATO would simply make it even harder for the US to access military bases overseas, and restrict its ability to project military power, particularly in the Middle East and Africa.
If Rubio truly had US national interests at heart, he would understand that.
Department of State@StateDept
SECRETARY RUBIO: NATO wasn’t just about defending Europe, but allowing us to have military bases in Europe for our national security. If we’ve reached a point where the NATO alliance means that we can’t use those bases to defend our interests, then it’s a one-way street.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, reacting to our story on leaked audio showing Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó conspiring to lift EU sanctions on Russia, says he's never heard anything so sad and disgusting as those phone calls.

💬 Premier @donaldtusk ⤵️ To, co dzisiaj usłyszeliśmy jest potwierdzeniem bardzo niepokojącej zależności rządu Viktora Orbana od władz moskiewskich. Nagrania ujawniły zależności, ale pokazały też, jak minister spraw zagranicznych państwa członkowskiego melduje rosyjskiemu ministrowi wykonanie zadania i prosi o cierpliwość. Niczego obrzydliwszego nie można było się spodziewać i to jest dyskwalifikujące.

If the European Union’s ability to defend itself can be destroyed with one paid enemy agent within like Orban, it is failing basic Darwinian logic and requires urgent reform.

I have no good news regarding the granting of 90 billion euros in aid to Ukraine, and I cannot guarantee that this loan will be granted – EU diplomat Kaja Kallas. The reason is still the veto by traitor Orban. And, of course, the EU's inability to solve this problem in four years.

In the midst of everything else that's going on, this shouldn't be overlooked; Israel has just announced the indefinite occupation of the entire south of Lebanon and the razing of the border area, with 600,000 people displaced amidst an already severe refugee crisis.
Ariel Oseran أريئل أوسيران@ariel_oseran
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced the IDF will maintain security control over the entire area south of the Litani River in southern Lebanon, including demolishing all homes near the border, to remove “once and for all” the Hezbollah threat to northern Israel. "At the end of the operation, the IDF will be positioned in a security area inside Lebanon - in a defensive line against anti-tank missiles - and will have security control over the entire area up to the Litani River, including the remaining bridges,” Katz said. “The return of over 600,000 residents of the area south of the Litani River will be completely prohibited until the safety and security of residents of the north is ensured, similar to the model of Rafah and Beit Hanoun in the Gaza Strip. We will eliminate Radwan's forces that have infiltrated the area and destroy all weapons located there.*

Telegraph: “Trump is strongly considering pulling out of NATO.”
The US president can't simply pull the country out of NATO. A 2023 law requires approval from Congress (or 2/3 of the Senate) to withdraw, a safeguard passed largely due to concerns about Trump’s earlier threats to leave the alliance.

The stakes go beyond Norway. Oslo says Article 5 applies to Svalbard too. It plans $8.5B in military aid to Ukraine, with most of it outside the US-led procurement scheme.
Norway’s message: missiles on the Kola peninsula are aimed not at Oslo, but America’s east coast. 6X

Norway is also hedging against US dependence. Its forces still run on American systems, but Oslo is buying submarines from Germany, frigates from the UK and long-range missiles from South Korea.

Norway is creating its first permanent brigade in Finnmark, folding Ukrainian defence technology firms into planning, and writing one joint Nordic NATO plan with Finland and Sweden — the first command structure of its kind in 500 years. 4/

Across 120 miles from Finnmark sits Russia’s Kola peninsula — one of Europe’s most militarised zones and home to the northern fleet.

Russia’s war showed how hard it is for large forces to move under drone-heavy skies, and Trump cast doubt on automatic US reinforcement.
Cold Response 26 brought 32,000 troops from 14 allies into this new Arctic posture. 2/

NATO is rewriting Arctic defense around one lesson from Ukraine. Under drone-saturated skies, lost ground is hard to retake — Times.
Norway says it is moving from a withdrawal model to a not-an-inch policy in Finnmark — defend from the first centimetre, not return later. 1/

Monday morning in Kherson: a Russian fiber optic drone hits a mini-van delivering produce to the market, injuring a driver. As I am reporting, another drone approaches.
