Bomb Iran but Blow Up NATO?

Unintended consequences all around, from all sides.

It’s not a stereotype, obviously.

It probably takes a ship about ten days to get to Israel from the eastern US.

Europe’s frustration with Mr. Trump is understandable given his failure to consult about the war in advance.

I don't agree everything that's happening in Iran but why would we notify our so-called "Allies" in NATO of what we were going to do in Iran?

Unintended? What has NATO done for you lately? Bunch of Freloaders. They shit on us every chance they get.

Let’s blow up the UN too while we’re at it.

No more Uncle Sucker.

President Donald J. Trump has been unequivocal and consistent for decades: Iran will never be permitted to obtain a nuclear weapon. This position — rooted in longstanding, bipartisan American policy — guides his actions to ensure the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism cannot threaten the world with nuclear devastation.

“After Midnight Hammer, they were warned to make no future attempts to rebuild their weapons program, and in particular nuclear weapons, yet they continue. They’re starting it all over… One thing is certain: I will never allow the world’s number one sponsor of terror, which they are by far, to have a nuclear weapon.” (2/24/26)
“They can’t have nuclear weapons. It’s very simple. You can’t have peace in the Middle East if they have a nuclear weapon. And they can’t have a nuclear weapon, and they’ve been told that very strongly.” (2/19/26)
“We don’t want any enrichment. We don’t want enrichment.” (2/13/26)
“No nuclear weapons…” (2/9/26)

“They still talk about enrichment. I mean, who would do that? You just come out of something that’s so bad, and they talk about, ‘We want to continue enrichment.’ Who would say that? How stupid can you be to say that? So, we’re not going to allow that to happen. We’re not allowing that to happen.” (7/27/25)
“They said, ‘We want enrichment’… I wouldn’t let that happen. I think people wouldn’t have understood it if I allowed that to happen.” (6/29/25)
“The last thing they want to do is enrich anything right now… We won’t let that happen, number one — militarily we won’t.” (6/25/25)

“I want to make a deal with Iran, I want to do something if it’s possible, but for that to happen, it must stop sponsoring terror, halt its bloody proxy wars, and permanently and verifiably cease its pursuit of nuclear weapons.” (5/14/25)
“Iran can have a much brighter future — but we’ll never allow America and its allies to be threatened with terrorism or a nuclear attack. The choice is theirs to make. We really want them to be a successful country … but they cannot have a nuclear weapon.” (5/13/25)

Mr. Trump’s refusal to do more to help Ukraine resist Russia is another legitimate gripe.

Disagree. Ukraine is not in NATO and we are under no obligation to fight on their behalf, or enable them to fight better. Europe may not like it, but their entitlement about the USA fighting their battles does not give their sentiments legitimacy.

I would deep six NATO if for no other reason than Turkish presence in it. As to helping Ukraine – – we already did. Plus they’re more corrupt than just about any country in the world.

If we leave NATO, the Turks will take it over, they would have the largest military in NATO.

I think maybe the European leaders are toting water for the globalist elites. They love endless wars and chaos so they can make money off of it. Trump is trying to finish off the regime in Iran, which would end a lot of chaos.

We need to be hunting down the globalist elites and finishing them off. They have created too much chaos and death in the world. It really is sickening and tragic.

Europe's frustration with Mr. Trump is understandable given his failure to consult about the war in advance and his taunts about occupying Greenland.

Trump has run his mouth so frequently -- and often in such an openly contradictory manner -- on these subjects that no foreign leader with an ounce of intelligence should make any major decisions based on what he says or does.

It officially turned into a clown show at this point:

I mean -- seriously? LOL.

Europe has been overrun by Jihadis and they’re not even fighting back. They are not our allies any more, or at least most countries in Europe are not.

We need to get out of there, get our military assets, our nukes, and bring them home or place them in friendly countries that will stand with us.

As for notifying Europe, that’s the equivalent of notifying Iran - they’re on the same side and its not the side of freedom.

WSJ thinks it’s a bad idea. Must be a good idea.

As infuriating as it is to see juvenile garbage like this in the pages of the once sensible Wall Street Journal, there is one very comforting thought right now.

President Trump doesn’t care.

He would not likely be swayed any more by this globalist whining than I would be swayed by my hysteric AWFL sister-in-law. He carefully chooses his course of action; he pursues it with gusto and devotion; and he makes up his own mind based on what he then observes whether to correct that course or forge ahead. And his instincts are legendary.

That’s leadership.

What in your presentation is contradictory?

Sounds like someone butt-hurt over another person taking a stand on something and calling the feckless weak

The Ukraine war proved that Russia is a paper tiger. Its military has been unable to win against a smaller, weaker but determined opponent. NATO was formed to essentially counter an aggressive, seemingly triumphant Russia which threatened a weakened, exhausted Europe. It has been a huge financial drain on the American taxpayer and has never helped the United States in any significant manner. When needed it no only whiffed but has tried to harass American efforts against Iran. Europe and America are going their separate ways. Time to dissolve this outdated alliance.

NATO deserved to die when the Soviet Union collapsed. For it was creeated to couter the threat that the Soviet Union provided. I think the world can finally agree that Russia is not, and never will be, the threat that the Soviet Union posed to the world. But Iran has & continues to be the newest threat that now exists for the world, and Europe is correct. It’s not their war, because they are nothing but scared rabbits now anyway. We are now free from having to be their protectorate. I wish them the best of luck, which is more than they ever offered us.

Like the Bible, you can’t take one statement out of context.

You have to read in context of the whole book.
