American and Israeli troops think they are protected by God
Meanwhile God is in the righteous

If America Leaves NATO, the Bill Lands in Washington
“NATO wasn’t there for us. We send billions of dollars to them every year to protect them. We would have always been there for them. But based on their actions, I guess we don’t have to be, do we? Why would we be there for them if they’re not there for us?”
That argument sounds airtight. It also gets almost everything backwards.
The Industrial Logic No One Wants to Say Out Loud.
For decades, NATO membership has functioned as the world’s most effective arms sales platform. When a country joins the alliance, it buys American. F-35s, Patriot batteries, HIMARS, Javelins. It becomes structurally dependent on American spare parts, software updates, and maintenance contracts. It is the most sophisticated captive market in military history.
Poland alone devotes 4.7 percent of its GDP to defense. These are not abstract trade figures. They are jobs in Fort Worth, Orlando, and East Hartford. They are the economic foundation of entire congressional districts.
A US exit from NATO does not preserve this arrangement. It ends it.
Canada and Portugal have already signaled reservations about F-35 commitments worth up to $19 billion, citing political unpredictability in Washington. When two countries walk away from an American platform, others begin running the same calculation.
EU member states spent 343 billion euros on defense in 2024, a 19 percent rise from the year before. The political momentum behind “Buy European” is real and growing. The market will remain.
NATO gives the United States something no defense budget line can purchase: forward positioning, intelligence integration, and political legitimacy across 30 countries. These are the operating system of American global influence.Without them, the United States becomes alone.
The Indo-Pacific pivot is not wrong on its merits. But forward positioning in Europe is not a drain on Pacific readiness. It is the network that makes global power projection coherent. Cut one node and the whole system degrades.
The Quiet Withdrawal Already Underway. A formal exit has not happened. But the functional retreat is well advanced. The Trump administration has told European allies the US will no longer serve as NATO’s primary conventional defense provider after 2027. Joint force commands are being transferred to European generals. Intelligence-sharing arrangements built over decades are being quietly renegotiated.
Each move is individually defensible. Collectively, they produce the same outcome as a formal withdrawal, without the legal fight or the Senate vote.
The irony is considerable. The administration that views NATO as a bad deal for America is dismantling the mechanism that made American arms exports dominant in global defense markets. The alliance was never just a security arrangement. It was the most durable commercial advantage in the history of the defense industry.
So back to the question. Why would America be there for allies who aren’t there for America?
Because “there for us” included $343 billion in European defense spending flowing toward American suppliers. It included 30 countries hosting American bases and intelligence networks. It included the political architecture that let Washington call itself the leader of the free world and have other governments agree.
Not a subsidy to Europe. A return on investment that took 75 years to build.
The bill for dismantling it will not arrive in Brussels. It will arrive in Fort Worth.

🇺🇸🪖𝗜𝗿𝗮𝗻 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗮𝘂𝗹𝘁 𝗣𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲
The Pentagon is planning for a potential deployment of up to 10,000 additional ground troops to the Middle East, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The force would likely include infantry and armored units, adding a combined-arms capable echelon behind the 82nd Airborne and roughly 5,000 Marines already ordered to the region.
This is sound doctrine. You don'torward-deploy an assault-capable force without identifying follow-on elements.
If the first wave goes kinetic and encounters resistance, you need the next echelon within decision-action range, not still loading out of a stateside location.
The planning should exist whether or not it gets executed. But there is a nuance.
Each tranche announced publicly adds a rung on the escalation ladder. The 82nd is not a garrison force.
The two MEUs with the USS Tripoli, an amphibious assault ship, transiting toward the Gulf, are configured for rapid insertion, shock, and strike.
What they are not designed for is sustained positional defense against armored counterattack.
Arnhem in 1944 comes to mind when a lightly equipped airborne force held for nine days against SS Panzer units without armored relief.
The preparation of a 10,000-strong armored component is the intended answer to that problem.
Someone in the Pentagon has thought past the assault phase. U.S. planners do not want a “Bridge Too Far” in Iran.
Prediction Only: The 3rd Infantry Division ("Rock of the Marne") out of Fort Stewart, the formation that led the ground assault into Iraq in 2003, is among the most likely sources for that capability.
The risk, however, of having a follow-on force on standby is that the threshold for ordering them into combat for any other reason is lowered.
Assembled forces create their own logic.
That's where the escalation ladder stops being a leverage tool and starts becoming self-fulfilling.
Meanwhile, Trump has paused strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure until April 6, but the pause is narrow: power plants and energy sites.
It does not cover Kharg Island, the capture of a uranium storage facility, or any other strategically or operationally significant objective in the region.
It is also worth remembering that Trump ordered the original strikes during ongoing negotiations with Iran and while more meetings were planned.
The diplomatic and military tracks operated in parallel then by design and there is no reason it would not now.
And, although April 6 is the next hard deadline, it may not be the most consequential one.

@PierreLeloup62 @joni_askola False. Look at Russia. The most powerful thing will always be freedom loving people who are smarter then the Russo megamind story lovers

@joni_askola Nothing is more perilous than a crowd raised on hatred, promised a free pass to vent their rage on grievances conjured from nothing. Once set in motion at full tilt, there is no turning back: the inertia of minds has hardened into an unstoppable force.

@RobertJMolnar Russo Maga mind only understands story Time with king daddy so when reality rears its truthful face they cower behind and bravado

Ok goddamit, before i go make potstickers with a nice spicy soy ginger garlic dipping sauce for dinner.
Trump has lost this war....utterly. In just about a month of time. Iran can give a fucks less about their shitty navy and non existent air force, and the young bucks in the IRGC can give a fuck about the geriatrics getting whacked.
Trump does not have the balls to stage 250k troops, with full equipment, tanks, Bradleys, IFVs etc in Kuwait, and Iraq won't let him do it.....
So there is absolutely zero % chance that Trump "wins". Israel is pissed, Bibi is pissed. NATO and Europe is pissed. Trump has tanked our economy, and the global economy.
Iran regime intact, regime controls the straits and is now making a shitload of money charging folks to let their shit through, China be like cool we will pay the toll....India is like cool we will pay the toll...
Regime still has all of their nuclear program intact, now under no supervision....this talk about special forces raids to get the uranium is absolutely bonkers dumb shit
Now we have a younger rabid version of Iran regime, happy that their elders are wiped out....because that is how politics works, everywhere.....aspirants
They are firing off missiles and drones at everybody still
We had to retreat both carriers from the region
Our economy is taking a huge whack, global economy taking a huge whack...Israel getting bombed daily, still, despite this whole "obliterated" bullshit from Trump.
Where do we from here?
Short of staging 300k troops and full hardware in Iraq, or Kuwait, for a full invasion, we are fucked....Trump is going to surrender monkey while lying about shit, Iran is going to mock the shit out of him, our european allies and NATO are gonna be like nah dude, this is all on you...
What say you MAGA?

@NAFOvoyager @khartiiabrygada The Russo maga mind has no concept of the willingness to fight for freedom and the common good and can therefore never understand why a woman would be helping to win a war

Meet Oleksandra “Vyrva” Davydenko – the first female servicemember in the history of Ukraine’s National Guard to be awarded the title Hero of Ukraine.
She serves in the “Svoboda” battalion of the “Rubizh” brigade, part of the “Khartiya” corps.
As a machine gunner, she held infantry positions in Donetsk region for months at a time.
During one russian assault, her position was buried under debris – it was stormed multiple times, hit with grenades and explosives, gassed, and calls were made for her to surrender.
While defending, “Vyrva” even had to fight an invader with a knife. Her comrades were wounded, and she herself was injured and suffered multiple concussions.
Despite all this, she managed to dig herself out, repel the attack, and evacuate two comrades.
Vyrva’s feat is proof that women are capable of incredible things and, alongside men, defend our land to the very end.
Story of Oleksandra “Vyrva” Davydenko, translated from @khartiiabrygada.

The world is counting down until this man is gone.
Trump called the Iran war a “test for NATO” at a Cabinet meeting Thursday, declaring the US would “never forget” allies’ failure to show up. He told Starmer not to bother sending ships, dismissed British aircraft carriers as “toys” – a claim Downing Street flatly denied – and stood before his Cabinet like a man settling scores in the middle of a war.
NATO Secretary General Rutte avoided any direct criticism, offering European allies “good reasons” for their delayed response in the Strait of Hormuz. Diplomatic cover for a moment that needed none.
This is a man who insults allies during an active war, rewrites alliance obligations in real time, and measures loyalty in ships dispatched on his command.
The world is counting down.

Today our Judiciary Committee will vote on HR 8037 to give exemptions for DATA CENTERS from environmental regulations. I’ll vote No, because no industry deserves special treatment under the law. If the regulations are too onerous, repeal them for everyone.grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5…
