@rayyu510@YouGov Literally the only NATO member that has ever invoked Article 5 to get defensive help from other NATO members is the US. Thousands of other NATO nations' troops died in Afghanistan, responding to the US's call for help.
The US is a net 'taker' from NATO, not a 'giver'.
@Keir_Starmer Why is the UK Government posting these updates on Twitter? The only engagement these days is bots, as you can readily see from 90% of the replies to this.
@StateDept The insult of that lie that ‘NATO wasn’t there for the US’, when in fact the US is the only nation to have ever invoked Article 5, resulting in other NATO countries coming to their aid. Many NATO troops lost their lives responding to the US’s call for help.
@JohnCleese You're a smart man, John, which is why it's so disappointing to see you being taken in by a fake story like this.
You have a big audience, so once you've verified for youself that this is nonsense, could I respectfully suggest that you delete this post and post a correction?
@tomhfh Wow. Quite the mental acrobatics here.
Sometimes the most obvious answer is the correct one: the right-wing commentators got it wrong when they moaned about the UK not blindly diving with both feet into the US's ill-judged war.
@Nigel_Farage Doing much constituency work yet, Nigel? When was the last time you were in Clacton, doing the job that you're paid by the British taxpayer to do?
@KayBurley The replies to this are unintentionally hilarious. But still, London remains one of the safest cities in the western world, despite the ignorant culture warriors' protestations. https://t.co/Hv7FaQP3eX
@RobertJenrick If only you could be a cabinet minister in a government that was in power for a decade and a half. You'd definitely be able to fix it in that time.
I've mostly left Twitter in the last year. Popped in just now, and the top posts on my 'for you' feed were: a Hitler apologist, an anti-trans culture warrior banging on about "MSM conspiracy", and a story trying to link the disappearance of swans to immigration.
Beyond parody.
