“This war has nothing to do with NATO. It’s not NATO’s war,” Stefan Kornelius, a spokesperson for German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, told reporters in Berlin on Monday. “NATO is a defensive alliance, an alliance for the defense of its territory,” he added.

    The response from everyone else should be, “Why would we join a war that’s already been won?”

    Give him his own bloviating bullshit back, served up nice and cold.

    “I would also like to remind you that the U.S. and Israel did not consult us before the war, and that Washington explicitly stated at the start of the war that European assistance was neither necessary nor desired,” Kornelius said.

    I like how Trump’s response to this is a petulant “well we don’t need you anyway, so there!”

    Europe needs to seriously up it’s arms manufacturing though.

    Good answer. Fuck Benjamin and Donald Ducks war. They don’t even know why they did it. NATO is not for undocumented wars.

      In fairness, they know exactly why they did it:

      For The Idiot: Israel needs our help to stop the 40-something-year-old “imminent” threat of an Iranian nuclear bomb (that was supposedly already stopped earlier last year when we “thoroughly destroyed” thir enrichment labs."

      For Bibi, it’s an opportunity to realize Israel’s version of manifest destiny, and to kill people he doesn’t like. Remember how everyone was all, “Boy I hope W doesn’t go nuclear on the middle east” after 9/11? 10/7 has had the same effect on Bibi, except he was predisposed for the merciless violence. He’s never seen these adversaries as “people.” W rarely thought about them at all.

        Also isn’t there pending corruption charges against him that are constantly put on hold because they are at war?

        There is a huge difference though. No terror attacks on USA, they already said they “nuked them back to zero” with the other operation. They couldn’t define what the end-goal is for operation fury.

        They don’t even agree on why they do this internally. And now they want other states to join in on a war happened because of Trumps small dick. I say fuck no. Let him have the consequences of this retarded administration for once. Let him dig his own grave.

              UN exists for that purpose, NATO does not exist for that purpose.

              Tbf I don’t remember many occasions in which people were complaining because NATO should have entered a conflict to stop a genocide.
