you know that the US is in NATO, right? π In fact, it's the goddamn leader lmao.
Maybe you missed the part where Trump decided to βmaybeβ withdraw the US from NATO, switched to a Mafia style for military protection, threatened to reduce military capacity in the EU (effectively eliminating some functions), and announced that he may invade Greenland. Not counting the MAGA doctrine to stop sending troops around the world (except maybe in Israel, ops!) and the leaks on Signal.
Sorry man, TACO may be a clown, but the EU took it seriously. We will replace the US military shield by 2030. Google it if you donβt believe it.
Bye π
So, has the US withdrawn from NATO or is it a part of NATO?
Also, it would be nice if the US withdrew from NATO.
The rest of NATO has been a bunch of glorified provinces of the US since NATO's inception.
That would be great, actually. NATO in general should both be prevented from invading elsewhere, and be forced to answer for its already-committed crimes.
Glorified USian provinces in Europe will not be going independent any time soon.
Because TACO told you so. Sure π
Why do you people always talk like the most insufferable reddit losers?
You people, who exactly?

Tune your radar: Iβm not even American.
Did you reply to the wrong comment? Because what you said has no bearing on mine.
Nope, it was for you.
Ok, well then you should have said something that had any bearing on my comment
These comments? That's precisely what I did: I politely explained you that you're wrong about me.
No you didn't
Feel free to continue this game alone.
Bye!
βNever believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.β

This is hilarious.
I know this because I have not been living under a rock, and have actually studied some history of the past couple of centuries, and not because I am a worshipper of any of your overlords.
EDIT: How would that even make sense, considering that the US does not try to claim that the rest of NATO are its obedient subjects? Did you not think your response through before you posted it?
Wow man, you actually studied the last couple of centuries of history? You must be such an expert!
Well, I have more expertise in the topic than you do.
If you say so π
