@PhillipKochan@EshaAA33 The only time a NATO member has been attacked was 9/11. NATO members all came to the aid of the US and fought that conflict for many years. Is your doctorate in wilful ignorance or just being a total fucking retard?
@JohnCun74018833@AriFleischer Don’t get me wrong. If an alliance could be constructed to overthrow the Iranian regime and install a government that treated its citizens humanely, I’d be all for it. But you don’t start a war before getting support and then whinge when your remote air power doesn’t work.
@JohnCun74018833@AriFleischer That escalation MUST be troops on the ground. But that is politically difficult as he promised “no more wars”. So now, having not consulted his NATO allies previously, he wants them to get involved. Why would anyone do that? Especially when he spends his time insulting allies!
@JohnCun74018833@AriFleischer And my only point was that being in a defensive alliance, i.e. NATO, is quite different to being in an offensive alliance. If you want to create an alliance to attack another country you’ll need UN approval. As happened in Afghanistan. Nobody is avoiding treaty obligations here.
