Why the fuck does NATO need the US? Aren’t there enough powerful countries in NATO without them? Maybe it’s time to move away from over-reliance on the US on defence like everything else.
Longterm thats a great goal. But the war in Ukraine is happening as we speak, and the inly thing stopping Putin from spreading the war to the rest of Europe is his fear of NATO.
Personally I am not comfortable with the only thing preventing Russia from attacking us is their goodwill, since if they seem to be in critically short supply of that
Russia has zero interest in conquering Europe, this is just the excuse NATO gives to justify increasing the budget and thus profits for millitary contractors and private industry.
“Nearly every” you mean like…the two or three big ones you consider important?
Lol you guys even do the “international community” thing with lemmy instances. “You’ve been designated a terrorist by the international community!(Me and my two friends)”
Only 3 of the people commenting here are Lemmy.ml accounts, and one of them agrees with your positions. I really think you should take a step back and reconsider your understanding.

No, NATO is thoroughly dependent on the US, it’s essentially a means for US imperial power projection. The EU is thoroughly defanged.
There aren’t.

Trump is objectively a greater threat to attack another NATO country than Putin is.
Why would Russia try to invade the rest of Europe lmao

Are you stupid?
You’re on a Lemmy.ml community. Do you have a counter-point, or do you think pointing out that I’m a communist is a counter-point by itself?
