    But I thought that the “greatest military in the world” wouldn’t need help for a war that has “already been won”?

    I think NATO should send some help. I was thinking of a container loaded with fire extinguishers, sleeping bags and a large stack of “NO SMOKING” stickers. You know, the things they forgot to add to their state-of-the-art carriers?

    NATO is a defensive alliance, not to be invoked when you get bribed by the zionists to start a war you cant finish. Our NATO allies owe us nothing in this situation but lawsuits for US/Israeli terrorism and destroying the oil markets.

    Reads like a text chat between an incel and a woman on the internet.


    Trump: You are stupid. You are ugly and fat. I’m so much better than you ever will be and also fuck all our agreements. Null and void. And you owe me $13.47 for that coffee I paid for.

    Them: stares confused . Then watches their economies be negatively impacted by trump.

    Trump: hey we are buddies right? Come help me bomb civilians.

    Them: no thanks.

    Trump: you are a stupid fat ugly bitch and I don’t need you anyway.

    Trump (next day): how’s it going? . So when are you deploying your troops to help out at the straight?

    Them: blocks trump

      Yup. It’s really as simple as that. Trump is a sociopathic abuser, and the macro version of that is essentially the same as the micro.

    Literally no official channel from the US has asked NATO. (Rage tweets are not official) The US was not attacked so it can’t invoke article 5. No one from NATO needs to help this American war adventurism.

      Further to that, they all recognize the folly of the whole thing and don’t want to get mired in the disaster that Trump has triggered.

        Oh I wouldn’t be so sure about that. I mean I doubt NATO will get involved, but some individual countries might – there are a lot of reich-wing governments over on this side of the pond.

    “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.

    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.”
