@ulfposh Ja aber das werden sie nie verstehen. Nach jedem Anschlag die gleichen Muster der Verklärung, Verleumdung und Abwendung von der Realität. Demo gegen Rechts folgt als nächstes
Ich habe für heute um 14 Uhr eine Demo gegen Rechts am Alexanderplatz (Alex (m/w/d/x) eingeplant.
Wir lassen uns nicht unterkriegen. ✊🏼🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️⚧️

@RadicalFalk Du hast zwar mit allem recht aber warst sicher gleichzeitig jahrelang Wähler dieser Parteien, die es versaut haben und ich denke auch du hast, vor 5 Jahren, dass Problem noch geleugnet so als Lifestyle linker
If the USA does not intend to honour the obligation to defend NATO because European countries dont join an offensive war of choice against Iran that we have absolutely no obligation to join, the USA membership of NATO is already worthless.
The NATO oath to defend each other is unconditional. If you dont intend to honour it because you are offended about disagreements that have nothing to do with the treaty obligation that you have sworn to uphold, your are not a realiable ally. Tresties with you are worthless and your word means nothing.
Unfortunately, that seems to be the case for the USA.
What do you see here?

This is the difference between allied and alone.
These soldiers are going into Iran with half a military.
Iraq in 1991 took seven months. 39 nations. Half a million troops.
British RAF Tornado jets flying deep into Iraq on the first night of the war, hitting airfields and missile sites at low altitude under radar cover, completing over 2,500 sorties across the campaign. 53,000 British troops, the largest UK deployment since the Second World War, including the 1st Armoured Division that punched 290 kilometres into Iraqi territory in 66 hours.
18,000 French troops under Opération Daguet, the second largest European contingent, guarding the left flank of the entire allied advance. French Foreign Legion, marine infantry and armoured units crushing the Iraqi 45th Division and seizing an airfield 150 kilometres inside Iraq in 48 hours. French Jaguar jets flying ground attack missions, Mirage 2000s providing fighter cover overhead.
Canadian naval vessels, CF-18s flying combat air patrols and bombing missions, and Canadian forces attacking retreating Iraqi columns on the Highway of Death.
Italian Tornados conducting strike missions across 42 days of war. Dutch frigates protecting American carriers and battleships in the Gulf, with Patriot missile batteries deployed to Turkey and Israel. The Greek merchant marine moving fuel and equipment across the Mediterranean.
Allies covering $44.5 billion of the war’s total costs.
The combined industrial, maritime and military capacity of the most powerful alliance in human history, pointed at a single objective.
That machine nearly doubled American reach. It shortened the war. It brought soldiers home. Europe and the allies did not just help. They made America unstoppable.
Today, these soldiers are going in without any of it. Into a country with 2-3 million soldiers, ballistic missiles that reach every US base in the region, proxy forces across seven nations, mountainous terrain designed by geography itself. Their allies want to be there. That is what Americans need to understand.
In military bases across Europe, British and French and Norwegian officers who trained alongside these Americans, who shared barracks and missions and years of their lives with them, are following this in silence. They are not celebrating. They are checking their phones. They know exactly what the absence of that coalition means on the ground. They have run the same war games. They have read the same terrain maps. They know what a missing supply chain costs in lives.
They would come. Many of them are desperate to come. The alliance is there. The will is there. The capability is there.
One man made sure the door was closed.
He called NATO a scam. Humiliated allied governments in public. Burned seventy years of strategic trust for applause at rallies. So the British SAS isn’t coming. The Canadian logistics chain isn’t coming. The Dutch frigates aren’t available to a president who told their governments they were freeloaders.
Every missing ally is a longer supply line. Every longer supply line is more exposure. More exposure means more casualties. More casualties mean more years.
This is not Europe’s failure. This is not NATO’s failure. This is the failure of one man who had every ally he needed and chose to burn them instead.
Churchill knew it. He said it plainly: “There is only one thing worse than fighting with allies, and that is fighting without them.”
That is the difference between a leader who builds coalitions and a man who burns them. One understands that power multiplies when it is shared. The other mistakes cruelty for strength.
These soldiers deserve those allies beside them. Those allies want to be there. They are worried, and they are grieving.
Trump made sure they can’t come. And somewhere tonight, an American soldier knows it too.
