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.

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.

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.

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

Not much good can come after that.

Umm, the war has already started. Remember that Russia violated international law and its treaty with Ukraine.

Uh, I don’t believe Article V promises mutual aid when you occupy a non-NATO country to take offensive action against a third party.

This morning I saw a pie chart showing a pie chart with the segments indicating the percentage each country pays. USA was over 70%.

We just need to excuse ourselves forever, and let the remaining -30% stew in their own juice.

NATO is talking about sending troops to Ukraine—this is how world wars start

Recent world wars started through appeasement ( deals made in willful ignorance, arrogance ), bad foreign policy, and misunderstandings. Not through sending troops into an on-going war.

The US is batting 3 for 3 so far.

I’d be surprised if all of these European nations could collectively come up with 100,000 military personnel to staff a global ā€œToys for Totsā€ campaign for three days.

I have a question. Where are NATO troops located? Germany, France, UK?
