What would Donald Trump have to do for the U.S. media to frame what he is doing in Venezuela as an act of war?
This isn’t a rhetorical question. It’s an actual inquiry, the pursuit of which can reveal a lot about how U.S. media’s default posture is state subservience and stenography. In the past few months, President Trump has committed several clear acts of war against Venezuela, including: murdering — in cold blood — scores of its citizens, hijacking its ships, stealing its resources, issuing a naval blockade, and attacking its ports.
Then in a stunning escalation on early Saturday morning, the administration invaded Venezuela’s sovereign territory, bombing several buildings, killing at least 40 more of its citizens, kidnapping Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife from their bed, and announcing they will, henceforth, “run” the country.
And yet none of these acts of brazen aggression, violence, and violations of international law have, in any sustained or meaningful way, been referred to as acts of war, a coup, or invasion in U.S. mainstream media reporting.
NATO is literally just another name for the American military. Maybe you’re joking. But, if you’re not, you really don’t understand NATO.
It’s like saying “Germany will be removed from the EU”. It’s literally the heart of it. If America leaves NATO it basically stops existing in any form of what it ever was.
Sure. You could still call it NATO. But it would be like calling McDonalds by the same name if you removed all the non vegan entries from the menu.
The US will never be expelled from NATO unless the US decides it’s time to dissolve NATO for its own political interest.
It was 21 years between WW1 and WW2. I could see the EU rearming over the next 20 years such that the US becomes irrelevant.
