    NATO has been dead for a while, the main guarantor is either uninterested in the rest of the alliance or actively threatening it. The EU should just take the good that came out of the NATO standardisation and move on to greener pastures

    Can’t we just start practically the same organization, just without US? Just the civilized countries.

    About 2 years ago, there were news stories in the US about Russian interference, specifically related to Trump, with one goal reportedly being to bring an end to NATO.

    Of course, now MAGA controls the US media and thus there is no mention of any such interference – as Trump actively moves towards major actions that will end NATO.

      Which media is controlled by MAGA besides X?

        Truth Social 😂

        But the way Zuck was bootlicking at the beginning of Trumps term I’d say Facebook & Instagram. Those are media amplifiers.

        Wasn’t the Washington Post or something owned by Bezos, another bootlicker? Didn’t they even have a fight about endorsment?

        Yadda, yadda, actually A LOT of media is controlled by bootlicking billionaires. Of course it is, because I, for once, cannot afford to buy nation wide news outlets with measurable impact ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        I guess “control” is too strong. But media clearly is bending the knee to avoid issues with Trump, like 60 Minutes not airing segments critical of him.

    But but but they needs their precious for National security. And isn’t national security more important than the international kind? If you can’t secure your own nation, can can you possibly speak to the inter-stuff too?
