    So let’s recap…

    You gave NATO and all your allies the middle finger by cutting their budget, tariffing them, insulting them, attempting to bully them into complying with your will, and threatening to invade some of them…

    You seemingly forgot their contributions to America’s previous pointless wars in the Middle East by saying they “weren’t on the front lines”, when most of them had sent people who lost their lives…

    You end US funding for Ukraine’s defense because you didn’t think it was your problem, and you told Europe that it’s their job to foot the bill…

    You give the UN and NATO the middle finger with this farcical and extortionary “Board of Peace”…

    And now you launch a pointless invasion of Iran and complain that NATO, a defensive organization is “rejecting” you by not participating in it?

    Get fucked, old man!

      Just yesterday, Danish media posted a description of how they planned to blow up airport runways to slow down an American invasion of Greenland. And how other European countries sent soldiers to help defend.

      Trump complaining about Europe now not helping in Iran is some major chutzpah…

    As always, “Trump says” is garbage headlining. Means about as much as “Third-grader blames family dog for misssing homework”.

    He’s the spoiled little rich kid who comes over to the sandbox while others are building a sand castle, proceeds to destroy the sand castle, then kicks his ball over the fence and wants everyone to come help him get his ball back.

    MAGA elected the most little bitch ass spoiled rich kid on earth.

      He wasn’t even that rich anymore. It was all theater. His hotels were in a sad state. His scams weren’t working anymore. It was all almost over.

      The election saved his ass.

      Now he’s rich, after grabbing anything he can get his hands on. Even in his first term he was quoted as saying that it was all “his money” now. All his debts are gone, all the banks folded. All the big companies as well, because they saw that they could “use” him to also get more money.

      If he was a spoiled rich kid before, think what he is now. He sees himself as a god.

        The only silver lining, and I really mean only, is that he’s so small intellectually that he’ll (hopefully) never see it through to it’s full potential.

        As long as they keep the chimp away from the nukes, we should survive him, so that we can then be torn apart by climate change.

        I mean, it’s kind of hard to argue with results. Fraud convictions and imminent sentencing turned into another chance to loot the public coffers because dumb-dumbs think the Gaza genocide wouldn’t also continue to happen under him.

      Israel forced him into it, there is a reason we are calling it Operation Epstein’s Fury. Because they have the tapes of the president, and ivy league aristocrats, fucking children.

    NATO is a deffensive trearty… if the US wanted help with its imperialism, they should have false flagged a 9/11-like event before starting the war. Even if it happened now, it would only be the US’ war for being the ones to start it.

    NATO’s job is to protect member states from Russian aggression. Trump has zero concept of history.

      Trump’s Pentagon insisted on a go-it-alone approach to Iran at the outset. This wasn’t NATO’s choice it was Hegseth’s choice.

      Even fucking Chimp-in-Chief Bush Jr had the decency to assemble the “Coalition of the Willing” in Iraq. Rubio couldn’t be bothered to get the fucking Turks and Saudis on board, and they’ve hated Iran since the Ottoman Empire fell.

      Absolutely bonkers to talk about this as some kind of NATO failure to comply when the treaty was never invoked to begin with. Doubly so, when you consider how many NATO bases are still ultimately being used by US forces to get hardware into position.

    He’s been rejected by everybody he’s ever met. That’s probably why he’s a rapist and a predator.

    NATO was created as a defensive measure to present a combined defence in the event of being attacked.

    It was NOT created to provide back up to a wannabe Napoleon with tiny dick syndrome because he decides to start a war on his own.

        A valid point and frankly still a stain on the organisation that they failed to justify. History aside it does not alter the fact of why it was created and why it should not be aiding the Fanta Fuhrer now.

    That was one labored sentence! I cannot be the only one that parsed it as: “Trump says he’s been rejected by NATO (while) most allies (are) to join mission …”

    Instead, it wants to say: “Trump says he’s been rejected by NATO and most allies (in his desire for them) to join mission …”

      The comma is for enumeration and not for segregation of two sentences. So it makes sense. They just used a comma instead of an “and”.

        News title grammar has distinctly different rules from normal language. Extreme brevity and using commas in place of any other punctuation are typical of it.

          Which would be justifiable in print. But this is not print, using it here is suboptimal and silly.
