    Someone warn Spain and Egypt in case he gets confused about his straights.

    He’s been rejected by everybody he’s ever met. That’s probably why he’s a rapist and a predator.

      That’s not it. It’s the lack of enthusiasm that drags Donnie down, the feeling that he has to always be the one to come up with ideas to keep this relationship with NATO alive.

      Would it kill them to bomb one little school, or leave some civilian corpses as a surprise around the (white) house like they used to do?

      It’s exhausting, really

    NATO was created as a defensive measure to present a combined defence in the event of being attacked.

    It was NOT created to provide back up to a wannabe Napoleon with tiny dick syndrome because he decides to start a war on his own.

        A valid point and frankly still a stain on the organisation that they failed to justify. History aside it does not alter the fact of why it was created and why it should not be aiding the Fanta Fuhrer now.

    The funny thing is that, with a sensible foreign and alliance policy, many of these countries would probably have actually helped with US Imperialism, like they did in the past. Take Iraq, for example. But if you treat all your allies like shit and as submissive military service, the governments of those countries simply have no choice but to reject, if they don’t want to be voted out. I’m sure, for instance, that my country’s ruling party, the CDU in Germany, was really keen on it.

    American people could think of it anther way. By not getting involved, other countries are attempting to keep this as a bad idea by Trump and not full on WWIII which would probably be the result if NATO got involved now. What you really need is some adults in the room in the WH who convince Trump that it is his brilliant genius idea to just walk away.

      Yeah but you also assume reason on the other side. That’s not granted. The joke now would be for the US to just walk away and Iran to re-open the strait EXCEPT for ships with a US interest (and probably Israel’s). “Retribution for the damages.”

    I thought he didn’t need Canada for anything?

    The USA has its dick in a blender, let’s not follow their lead.

    This reminds me of the Suez canal crisis in the 50s, if I recall correctly. That marked the end of the British and French empires.

    The U.S. has threatened a founding member of NATO with a war of aggression, and furthermore, the U.S. is committing war crimes alongside the genocidal Israel - this is the situation in which the U.S. is calling for support for a war of aggression that tramples on international law. Or to put it another way: It is the situation that a narcissist - who should have been in prison for decades - has brought about with what he calls the “Art of the Deal.” GTFO!

    Madlad whines that other people don’t want to engage in his bullshit. What a surprise…
