Europe 2025 is starting to give off a real 1914 sort of vibe.

Europe conducted two suicidal wars in the 20th century.

The third time will be their final downfall.

Am glad we won’t be part of this one. Thank God for Donald Trump.

...no one is stopping to ask if this is a good idea.

I am, I'm saying it's a terrible idea, a really rotten idea.

NATO is defensive not offensive.

This is all talk.

I agree. Small regional conflict. Bellicose leaders stirring up trouble. More and more countries look like they're getting sucked into it. None of this is good. The US needs to stay far away.

Nope... if they join a war on their own, outside of NATO and get attacked, Article V does not come into play. Anyway, all Article V only requires us to do what we deem necessary. That could be as little as a diplomatic protest.

If they get blown up, that’s on their dime.

Trump could stop them. Think when the surrender monkeys and the limeys wanted to take over the Suez Canal. Eisenhauer put a stop to it quick.

Trump would have to tell Putin to hold off in time to get our own troops out. That’s a lot. Ther’d have to be a lot more equipment left behind than there was in Afghanistan.

Disingenuous article. NATO is considering sending peacekeeping troops into Ukraine, not combat troops. And Article 5 is invoked when a NATO country is attacked, not when NATO troops are attacked. There is a difference.

Anyway, I don’t have a dog in this hunt - except that I don’t want a single American soldier involved or a single American dollar involved.

Utter stupidity and madness. How soon they forgot. All they have to do is take a look at Ukraine’s blasted cities. Do they really want that? Insanity.

If NATO countries choose to start an unnecessary war that the US explicitly stated we would not participate in… It would seem irrational to come to their defense.

The other countries outside of the U.S. don’t have the strength in military force. If we drop out right now that ‘talk of war’ will stop fast.

Time to quit NATO

“British PM Keir Starmer...”

Not much good can come after that.

...peacekeeping troops...

Oxymoron, isn't it?

Could be code for "practice targets".
