@benonwine It's called 'drown proofing' and anyone that lives in a country where many have pools, it's a common technique and very effective. Traumatic, maybe initially for the parent, but the alternative isn't worth considering !!

@UkrReview 5% of GDP is simply 3.5% to NATO & a target of an additional 1.5% by 2035. For those in the US that means that because you have a substantially larger GDP than the individual countries in Europe, you will pay more $ but the same %. If you pay more, don't bitch about it !!

🇺🇸❗️Trump is considering a major change to how NATO works, proposing a “pay-to-play” system where countries that don’t spend 5% of their GDP on defence could lose their say in key decisions, - The Telegraph 🇩🇪 Trump is considering withdrawing US troops from Germany.

Trump: Iran hit the world's biggest aircraft carrier from the 17 angles we ran for our lives, it was over. So that explains the fire in the laundry room?

Dear Americans, especially MAGA, You need to ask yourselves this one question. Why aren’t there ANY Israeli soldiers going to the Middle East? It’s ONLY Americans.

@Microinteracti1 A classic example of Trump's methodology of 'Fire, Ready, Aim'' !! However, at least his family and close cohorts allegedly made plenty of oil investment profits !! PS., the Epstein files haven't disappeared !! Thank you for your attention on this matter.

Nobody in the Trump administration planned for Iran to shut the Strait of Hormuz. Nobody planned for sustained missile strikes on American bases across the Gulf. Nobody planned for an energy crisis. Nobody planned for Europe to look at Washington, shrug, and walk the other way. Nobody, it turns out, planned for very much at all. Read the accounts of how this war was decided and you are left with one deeply uncomfortable realisation: the people who launched it appear to have been genuinely surprised by almost everything that followed. The Iranians shot back. The allies didn’t show up. The oil price went vertical. All of it, apparently, news to them. Which leaves two questions so obvious they’re almost embarrassing to ask. What exactly did they think was going to happen? And did anyone, in any room, at any point, think further ahead than the applause? Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@Rainmaker1973 Read the books ! Bond is a dirty fighter, British & rough around the edges, so immediately Tom Hardy or Cillian Murphy jumps out.

This is Adam Mockler explaining to a MAGA panel how NATO actually works. The woman is furious. America is fighting in the Strait of Hormuz and the allies won’t show up. “What’s the point of an alliance if they won’t help us?” she asks. Mockler explains, with the patience of a man teaching long division to a golden retriever, that NATO is a defensive alliance. Article 5 is not a blank check. It does not activate because one member decided, unilaterally, to go to war in someone else’s waterway. Europe does not scramble its navies because Washington picked a fight and then expected company. The face she makes says everything. This is the real cost of ideological illiteracy in a nuclear-armed democracy. When the people advising power have never bothered to understand how the world is actually assembled, every institution becomes a betrayal. Every ally becomes a coward. Every rule becomes an obstacle. They spent years calling Europe freeloaders. Then started a war. Then got angry that the freeloaders wouldn’t come. The confusion is genuine. That’s the part that should keep you up at night. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

CONSERVATIVE: why won’t NATO help us MOCKLER: that’s not how NATO works

@hunterhhedge @RidgeandFrost @DominicWaghorn Between, Donald and Sky reporters, it's tough to know exactly, but based on U-turns and mistruths coming out of the US, I trust the US less when it comes to concrete facts !!

@JT102e @Dave12075548 @Thomas977673521 @74lala74lala @Microinteracti1 NATO requires each member to pay at a minimum, 2% of their GDP. The bigger the GDP the higher the amount in value, not as a % ! The US paid approx 3.3%, Poland 4.12%, Estonia 3.43% , down to Belgium at 1.13%. Nobody asks the US to pay 3.3%. Nobody ! Maybe speak to Scott Bessent?
