Whelp Nobel Peace Committee what do you have to say about giving the award to a boot licker

Yes it would come back but it would be a good long while because we are having to start from the bottom all over again.

That’s the part you seem to not be getting. We are talking a process that would take YEARS to get done, if it would even happen at all.

Ok read the article and seriously WTH. How are the statues “pro-prostitution.”

This is like saying a statute to memorialize and pay respect to the lynched is “pro-lynching.”

I mean I only responded to the specific account once in the chain 🤷🏻

Actually it is. You are the one saying not to trust the service.

Ok, please present us the material that causes you to mistrust.

Proton has been involved in some situations but it’s like the scenario I provided.

Accounts having an unencrypted line of entry “we can’t get the information off the Proton Server but the account is connected to a Google server so let’s go to Google instead.”

Or Proton not particularly putting up a hard fight against a government request. (Mind you no information is being handed over just an account being turned off with no means to recover)

Unlike those “we will delete your data for you.” Services. Proton operates under a Zero Knowledge Encryption, I.E. no one even themselves can read your emails.

Is it perfect? No obviously, if you use a recovery email that is not properly secured (say a Gmail account.) then congratulations your now vulnerable via the State asking Google.

But the privacy focus IS genuine

Treaty reason and NATO Policy Planning. Greenland is a very strategically important location and the increase interest in the Arctic only increased that.

In effect the Troops can only be removed if the US is removed from NATO (aka NATO Disbanded.)

Well of course it’s empty. The Democratic Establishment where also looking to depose Maduro themselves as well

It’s voluntary yes but the US isn’t just the largest member but it’s baked into the system the US is in charge.

Think it like the situation with Amazon Web Services. When it shut down it took out roughly 2/3 of the websites with it. Essentially for all intents and purposes the core of the internet was gone and that had a nasty ripple effect.

That’s obstinately what would happen if the US was removed from NATO.

The US wasn’t alone and did gather other NATO nations to invade Iraq.

But as to why NATO proper was not used it’s simply Iraq wasn’t a NATO member and the US (though not from lack of trying) couldn’t connect Iraq to 9/11 well enough to justify Article V’s use.

Nope the Turkey Vs Greece was Turkey invading the Island of Cyprus which was considered independent of Greece, thus legally not a trigger for Article V.

Greece would of course come to the defense of Cyprus (the population was majority Greek Cypriote after all.) but still for all intents and purposes there was an argument that a NATO member wasn’t attacked.

Actually it does. That’s how ingrained the US is. NATO despite claiming shared corporation and use of unanimous voting is functionally set up so the actual governing and administration pillars are US controlled.

It’s not like the EU where the loss of the UK (only nation to leave after all) was just a shrug and move on like nothing happened.

If NATO lost the US multiple key institutions would be vacant till the remaining nations amend and restructure. A process that would take years to iron out
