A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Afaik there’s no mechanism within the nato charter or any of its founding documents or principles that would allow this. So the US doing this would probably only hasten NATO falling apart, and lead to the forming of a new iteration of it without the US.
Edit: and, uh, NATO itself agrees with that first part
Without the US? How the North American Treaty Organization exists without US?
Lmfao NYT coming in hot with the AI slop 🤪
Honestly though, that’s a hilariously bad and super obvious fuck-up
lmao
Also, even if NATO stood for that, Canada is in NATO, so it’s still North American. The US does not own the Americas.
I'm sure Spain wouldn't mind. At the same time they can leave all their bases in Spain. Frankly at this point NATO would be better off without the US.
It's time Europe stood in it's own, but for US that means leaving all bases in Europe and Europe no longer sharing intelligence or purchasing US military hardware.
Good luck being a pariah state.
EU is also reducing and disconnecting financial systems, infrastructure, software, critical trade and a bunch of other dependencies. The US and their businesses are less happy about that part.
I pity any country that is slugged with buying food from the US. For a country obsessed with meat, they sure are bad at producing any worth a damn.
Well, that's because you seem to think the same thing makes good "meat" regardless of the cut or even animal...
American beef is shit for steaks, but is the best hamburger meat. Most of our beef that's exported is ground to be mixed with "local" beef in other countries for hamburgers due to the higher fat content in American beef.
Anyways, it was just weird to see someone mention all those big issues, and then someone to chime in with something that really doesn't matter and they clearly don't understand
NATO is a defensive treaty. No NATO member was attacked by Iran. As usual, Trump is full of shit.
Isn't NATO a defensive organization? Crybaby taco Trump is acting like they're his personal army and if they don't attack who he says to attack then they should be punished....
All the more reason for the EU to leave NATO as a united bloc.
What value does a defense alliance have when the most influential country in its ranks is ruled by a psychopath who openly threatens its members with a war of aggression and commits the most heinous war crimes elsewhere in the world?
We simply have to be realistic: The U.S. is now the enemy of the free world. Nothing will ever change that, because the American people will never rise up against their own downfall.
They might wish to learn more of what it takes to float tankers through a particular strait rather than dumb ideas.
NATO is already dead. Nobody believes that the.participating nations will act to protect one another.
