@jurgen_nauditt In one thing Trump is right, though.
The US is the hottest country in the world. So hot that the world looks desperately for some refreshment.
Berlin will burn.
Sink the British Isles with our Sarmat missile.
Attack France and Poland.
But hey, fuck Russia isn't our enemy.
Spoiler: Oh yes it is—and has been for a long time.
@CarloCalenda tanto sono i russi che si sono già boicottati da soli dichiarando di non voler trattare con la cattiva Europa solo pochi giorni dopo aver detto il contrario.
i polli cremlinisti ci sono cascati

Marco Rubio Has Discovered That NATO Exists
Marco Rubio stood at a podium recently and said, with the confidence of a man who has never read anything, that if NATO can’t be used to “project to other contingencies,” then “we have a problem.”
He is correct. There is a problem. The problem is Marco Rubio.
Article 5 of the NATO treaty has existed since 1949. It says, in language so simple a golden retriever could grasp it, that an attack on one member is an attack on all. That’s it. That’s the whole thing.
You don’t need a law degree. You barely need literacy.
What Article 5 does not say, and what no page of the NATO founding treaty has ever suggested, is that 31 sovereign European nations signed up to serve as a strategic parking lot for American military adventures on the other side of the planet.
Denmark did not join a defensive alliance in 1949 so that, 75 years later, it could help Washington bomb a country it got bored looking at.
NATO is a shield. Not a sword. Not a taxi service. Not a valet for whatever impulsive geopolitical tantrum is trending in Washington this quarter.
The Americans have now spent 15 months confused by this distinction.
Their finest minds, their cabinet secretaries, their very best people, staring at the treaty like a dog watching television. Ears up. Deeply engaged. Understanding absolutely nothing.
The good news is that Europe has finally understood something too: you cannot outsource your survival to people who find a single sentence intellectually challenging.
Gandalv / @Microinteracti1
You backed, armed and funded Israel’s genocide. Vetoed every UN resolution to help Palestinians from our permanent Security Council seat. Launched two illegal wars of aggression against Iran, bombed a school of children, kidnapped the President of Venezuela, bombed ships in int’l waters deemed “narco terrorists”. And you’ve hosted a man - wanted for genocide and crimes against humanity - at least 7 times in this Admin alone.
You don’t believe in international law and have defunded as much of the UN and WHO as possible.
NOW you want the UN’s help? That’s fucking rich.
@mad_timer@FT@grok North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
USA spend huge a money for arras that are not north atlantic... RoW, Pacific, Korea, etc. You cannot compare that expenditure to smaller countries with no military presence outside their countries.
