‘But, like the UK, we actually fund our responsibilities to NATO, even though it’s a joke’ makes it clear that you’re not exactly a supporter of NATO.
I AM a supporter of NATO and always have been. Of course it comes down to whether one is a pacifist and believe that all humans are peaceful or whether one is a realist and that it takes strength to stand up to the dictators that sadly still rule by fear. The threat of a rogue ruSSian/USSR has always been there since the end of WW2 although the level of the threat has varied. The point is that NATO is an alliance of democracies, well, that was the intention but unfortunately over time, one or two have the members have evolved into more autocratic states but who would want any country to leave NATO the most. pOOtin perhaps?
As to the U.S. involvement, well, your political defence lobby ensures that you spend a shit load of money on weapons and american troops have been stationed in Europe ever since Pearl Harbour the same as many NATO members have their troops in other NATO countries. I believe that over time, some of the NATO members have become somewhat lazy in paying their way but there’s nothing like a local war to wake them up is there puds lad. My my, even Sweden and Finland are racing to get into the club. tRump’s threat to leave NATO would have played right into pOOtin’s plan wouldn’t it. Good job tRump wasn’t around to see that one through. His moaning about other countries spend was just an excuse. tRump wanted out of NATO because pOOtin wanted to destroy NATO. But, pootin’s war has strengthened the alliance, not weakened it which was a massive pootin miscalculation and for an alliance that has ensured no nuclear armageddon for over 70 years, I think they’ve done rather well.
NATO has never been more relevant than it is now and as I’ve said in here many times before, because of the ever increasing divide between east and west.
Just imagine a mother ruSSia from Vladivostok to Lisbon as their media like to portray.
Then it would be china/ruSSIa against the yooo ess ay.
You’d be dust puds lad, fucking radioactive dust.
Concentrate on the global picture puds lad, not your puerile partisan politics. If we in little ol’ UK can do that, then i’m sure the USA can as well.
Still think NATO is a joke?

Did you not do your research on this one puds lad? Oh dear puds, you do disappoint me sometimes……nah….maybe not sometimes…you’re a disappointment all the time.
pOOtin was building up his war-chest puds lad. Everyone knows that. pOOtin was going to invade Ukraine no matter who was in your White House. tRump had 4 years to put troops into Ukraine after ruSSia invaded Crimea and Donbas. But he didn’t…cos he’s pOOtin’s pussy.
You see puds lad, you’re full of this ‘tRump would have’ horse shit. And talking of horse shit, where was it published that 20 ruSSian pilots were killed in the 2017 cruise missile attack on the Shayrat airbase ??? That seems to be a fact that you’re pretty sure about. Was it in the qanon Times??
Hmmm puds lad ???
Wiki reports that :Hours after the U.S. missile strike, Syrian government’s warplanes took off from the Shayrat base to attack rebel positions again, including the town of Khan Shaykhun
Seems like tRumps missile attacks don’t amount to much. Not too much lead in his pencil there puds lad.
