NATO is a defensive alliance. The deal is that NATO members are obligated to come to the defense of any other NATO member which has been attacked, not one which has started a war by attacking some other country which is then fighting back.

But "You NATO people are so mean to me and I don't need you anyhow!"

What a fucking baby.

We should be going after them the way have Republicans have for years to at least try to pressure them into being unbiased and impartial, even though I'm guessing they will answer to their corporate owners over us, but it's better to fight the bad guys and their allies rather than amongst ourselves...

as to what anyone thinks we were presenting in offer? A little razor-burn AND gonorrhea with a side of sudden, violent death?

How could they say no?

He will use this as an excuse to make Putin's dream come true when the US withdraws from NATO.

Of course they would, they can't stand up to him and half of them are beholden to Putin too.

Given his behavior this past month, I can see why so many of his fanbase are no longer championing his case and rather going back to the weak feed in the south forty pasture again with the "Iran's government is worse!" routine that was already rode hard and worn out 20 years ago.

Joined us in hammering out a deal with Iran to monitor their nuclear refinement program to ensure they don't produce weapons-grade material. That agreement was working well.

Trump ended that because President Obama made a joke about him firing Gary Busey. We're now in the hands of a petulant infant.

Collapse on camera or die mid-tweetstorm or simply fall down some stairs but just fucking die and the world instantly becomes a better place.

I hate that child rapist son of a bitch more by the second. I really hope it hurts when he dies, nothing painless or peaceful.

please explain to everyone within his administration, including "The Donald," what NATO is, and their raison d'etre.

For being the smartest man in any given room, he sure is a dumb fuck.
