@Jofn66 @MarioNawfal What military invasion are you talking about?

@MarioNawfal Spain does not have, nor did it ever have, any ships blocked in the Strait of Hormuz. The current strategy of blaming NATO for an illegal and poorly planned military invasion is childish. It's like little children who never admit their mistakes and always blame everyone else.

🚨🇫🇷🇮🇷 IRAN'S PLAYING DIVIDE-AND-CONQUER WITH HORMUZ AND IT'S WORKING Iran's got a system: block U.S. ships, let European ones through... but only if those countries stand up to Trump. France crossed today no problem, Spain blocked airspace recently and got rewarded. It's brilliant... and infuriating. They're splitting NATO by making it profitable to oppose Washington. Every European ship that gets through proves you don't need America to keep trade flowing, you just need to not be America. Trump's entire pitch was "they need us for security." Iran just showed Europe they need Trump less than Trump needs them. He's gonna lose his mind and escalate hard, which is exactly what makes this strategy work. The madder he gets, the more Europe distances itself, the less likely he is to end this with a win. Brilliant. And infuriating. Source: CNN World

@restless_psycho @LDHAL4Q2 @GoldenAgeUnfold Expel with force? you think we would allow that? Hahaha good one

@LDHAL4Q2 @GoldenAgeUnfold It’s on German soil, so they can just expel your troops with force, confiscate the hardware and unless you want to start a war over it, it’s fuck all you can do about it.

what do you make of this? Germany’s far-right AfD party leader Tino Chrupalla, came out and said it’s time for all 35,000 US troops to pack up and leave the country completely. US military has been based in Germany ever since World War II, first as the occupying force, then as part of the NATO alliance.

@Luniborg @len53118 @ELNVdc @NoahRettberg I think we will just make more direct strategic alliances with individual countries. NATO has outlived its usefulness and purpose.

@Docsdaddy1 @len53118 @ELNVdc @NoahRettberg Sure. The attack on Iran is blatantly illegal and it would be irresponsible of Europe not to take a stand. If the US wants to close its bases and pull out of NATO it would severely hamper American access to European ports and airspace. No one wants that.

Ukraine and Iran are both problems for Europe and the US. We live in the stupidest timeline where Europe and the US are drifting apart instead of sticking together. And dont come to me with your thoughts about who you think is to blame and who started this. Shut up. We need to come together and not alienate each other even more, whoch just serves the interest of the third world dictators.

@MacroBombastic @Microinteracti1 America is country for people that want to make their own way. We don't all look to the government as our provider, that is European way of thinking.

@Microinteracti1 Buddy, that's the harsh truth about America. Can't provide for its own people but can build 750 bases around the world.

Right. So America can park two carrier strike groups in the Persian Gulf, maintain 750 military bases across the planet, and spend $886 billion a year on defense. But daycare? Absolutely beyond the capacity of a functioning nation. Trump didn’t accidentally say the quiet part out loud. He just finally ran out of ways to dress it up. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@OwnNothingBFree @NoahRettberg Iran is directly responsible for the killing and maiming of thousands of American soldiers and european soldiers as well. Whike you can do you, we are not cucks and we never fucking forget.

@Docsdaddy1 @NoahRettberg Gtfo They’re only a problem for Iranians & Israel. Not for the US or Europe. Go tell lies somewhere else Although I hope you know that you’re being lied to ? I’m afraid you might be a real victim of propaganda

@Luniborg @len53118 @ELNVdc @NoahRettberg Bases do not make sense for us if we can not use them when we need to. I am certain our military will adjust to compensate for this now known weakness. As far as europe having personnel, I did not say they did not. I simply agreed with you just do not be upset when we withdraw.

@Docsdaddy1 @len53118 @ELNVdc @NoahRettberg There is no other place to establish those systems. Your 100k troops and equipment is surely yours. I was talking about the assets we have bought, and is now problematic if US don’t provide full range of services that it has promised. Europe has military personnel.

@OwnNothingBFree @NoahRettberg Its been an ongoing active threat since 1979. It has bver stopped being a threat that whole time. Threats don't just go away because you pretend they do and you dont see it in your face everyday.

@Docsdaddy1 @NoahRettberg Haha what a bunch of nonsense. Go back to 1979 to make a point 😅😅😅

@ALemppu @NoahRettberg I will continue to enjoy the shithole that is my house on top of a hill surrounded by acres of beautiful forest. Sure the cities may be a bit shitty, but that is the direct result of leftist welfare policies much like you see in Europe.

@Docsdaddy1 @NoahRettberg Yep, just pack up and leave, go back to your shithole country and stay there.

@gringosilent @MarianDumitriu1 @Phillyvol85 @NoahRettberg Politically, agreed, the US lost that one. Militarily, the US did the pummelling. Unfortunately, politics got in the way of a proper beat down like the one given to Germany or Japan.

@Docsdaddy1 @MarianDumitriu1 @Phillyvol85 @NoahRettberg True. We saw how America got pummeled in Vietnamm

@Elgar_M_Zeisel @Chidera15181727 @NoahRettberg What was your problem with what I said then? I was accepting your position and suggesting we move forward with that mutual agreement

We don’t need the USA as a blackmailer. Don’t believe the nonsense that the Russians will attack Europe. Who else would pose a danger? Besides, 450 million Europeans would be able to form a well-equipped army in a short time if necessary. We could also quickly catch up in weapons technology.

@Luniborg @len53118 @ELNVdc @NoahRettberg I guess we will see going forward. The hardware that comes with the 100k troops is not paid for by europe. That is our equipment. What are you talking about. We can revisit once we establish new early warning systems elsewhere.

@Docsdaddy1 @len53118 @ELNVdc @NoahRettberg A combined Europe has a huge military force, and beats the U.S. in many metrics. “Remove” our military hardware that we have paid for is just another example of why U.S. can’t be trusted. Bases in Europe is for American security. Early warning systems and such.

@ALemppu @NoahRettberg Then we shouldn't. Please dont throw a fit when we close our bases, remove our troops, military equipment, technology, and naval presence. We can then revisit our relationships going forward.

@NoahRettberg Of course we "drift apart" when US elected idiot demented child rapist subservient to Russia as their leader and became active security threat against Europe. What kind of moron suggest we should stick together with that kind of entity?

@OwnNothingBFree @NoahRettberg Have you been asleep since 1979?

@NoahRettberg Why is Iran a problem for Europe or the US? Iran is a problem for Israel. They shd take care of it or make an arrangement with them. Are you paying attention? The Trump admin is intentionally widening the alliance. What can or shd we do abt it? Attack Iran also? Fck no

@gringosilent @MarianDumitriu1 @Phillyvol85 @NoahRettberg Numbers on paper don't mean shit on the battlefield, especially when there is way more logistical information needed to complete the chart on paper.

@MarianDumitriu1 @Phillyvol85 @NoahRettberg I think we will be alright.

@P_e_rk @NoahRettberg Hold your breath

@NoahRettberg Coming together is easy. The US needs to capitulate, pay reparations and bring its perpetrators of their illegal war of aggression to The Hague. Europe should help them in going through with these steps.

@Elgar_M_Zeisel @Chidera15181727 @NoahRettberg Thank you from an American for saying the quiet part out loud. It is past time to end NATO. It has outlived its purpose and usefulness. Also Ukraine is not an American threat in any way shape or form and we will follow your lead to only concerning ourselves with what affects us.

@Chidera15181727 @NoahRettberg As an additional point: As a European, I am fairly indifferent to all of this. I do not want to pay the bill and am being forced to. If Israel, the US, and Iran want to wage war, then they should. Without Europe.

@Luniborg @len53118 @ELNVdc @NoahRettberg Agreed. Then please agree to not be mad when the US withdraws its 100k forces, closes up our euro bases, and removes our military hardware. We can then discuss a new relationship going forward.

@len53118 @ELNVdc @NoahRettberg Europe pays for its defence. The narrative that the U.S. is paying for it is just nonsense. Europe has a defence industry, which needs to grow. As we no longer can rely on the U.S. as an ally.

@AlexBla17158502 @Tomas25578065 @Microinteracti1 @Stefano_Cellino I retracted my last comment. Good day.

@Docsdaddy1 @Tomas25578065 @Microinteracti1 @Stefano_Cellino >Begging for help? Yes. >If the US had to secure the straight, we could and we would. You won't, because you can't. Else you would have done it already.

The bombs are still falling. But Washington has already lost. A former US military adviser said what most analysts are thinking: Trump’s war on Iran has alienated every ally America has left. Not some. All of them. Military victories can be measured in targets destroyed. This defeat cannot. It is happening in foreign ministries, in trade corridors, in quiet conversations between leaders who no longer trust Washington to behave like a serious country. The United States turned against its allies. The tariffs came first. Then the threats against Greenland. Then the abandonment of Ukraine. Now a unilateral war that nobody signed up for, followed by demands that everyone join in anyway. When you spend years burning bridges, do not be surprised when nobody comes to your war. The military result in Iran is still uncertain. The strategic result is not. America is alone. And it got there fast. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@JohnCleese They went after two Russian allies, Venezuela and Iran. What are you talking about?

Please, please...leave NATO It doesn't work at the moment because the strongest military member is helping Russia NATO was formed to confront Russia, remember ? But once Putin got kompromat on Trump. America changed sides So now NATO doesn't work because its strongest military member is working for the enemy Good bye. Please

@archer_rs @Ryderfangfang The part that you dont understand is that what made America excel is that the most ambitious people with balls from europe said fuck this bullshit and moved across an ocean to an undeveloped land, built that land into the world's greatest power and became your daddy.

@Ryderfangfang You should really know your history. Shameful

The USA only really exists because Europeans created it, built it, funded it and supported it. Time for Americans to show a little gratitude.
