  • NATO always had a UN mandate to intervene, except for the war in Yugoslavia since Russia vetoed it. NATO conducts peacekeeping missions, often positioning in between two factions.

    If you want to argue that NATO ignores 9 out of 10 conflicts and intervenes only where it’s convenient for the West, that’s a fair point, but accusations of genocide are simply ridiculous.

    Just to name an example of your BS, Israel attacked the UNIFIL forces because they held their defensive position in Lebanon.












  • Maybe you missed the part where Trump decided to “maybe” withdraw the US from NATO, switched to a Mafia style for military protection, threatened to reduce military capacity in the EU (effectively eliminating some functions), and announced that he may invade Greenland. Not counting the MAGA doctrine to stop sending troops around the world (except maybe in Israel, ops!) and the leaks on Signal.

    Sorry man, TACO may be a clown, but the EU took it seriously. We will replace the US military shield by 2030. Google it if you don’t believe it.

    Bye 👋



  • It’s funny because while we both acknowledge that we can have different opinions, you imply that mine is totally wrong.

    Before Trump 2 the US was an ally, the cornerstone of NATO, the place where you want to go to have some kind of career, and so on. We can argue that something changed a bit over the decades, but America was always America. Even during Trump’s first term, for us at least, it was business as usual (despite lots of negative forecasts).

    In the last few months all that certainty became questionable at least. I see a remarkable shift in politics, public opinion, and risk assessment at work. “Going European” is a widespread idea. Replacing the US in defence is now for the first time in history a funded project with an end date and clear objectives, including nuclear defence. Quite a few websites emerged to help consumers “buy European” or “check if it’s American”. For the first time in my life, boycotting US is no more something for rebellious teenagers full of ideologies, and people are at work to create here those things that we used to “just buy” from the US. The EU put on the table “the bazooka”: a legal instrument created to kick out China from the continent and that now some (like France) want to use against Trump.

    But yeah, you can think that it all started years ago and that I have a secret agenda to defend Biden. Sure, why not?
