    The minute we set foot in a sovereign country with intent to seize, we’ll be sanctioned into the ground by NATO. It will be completely warranted, yet Trump will somehow convince MAGA that they’re ‘attacking’ us economically.

      Of all the people to blindly believe and follow, why him? Absolutely nothing I’ve seen about him even hints a wisp of “you can trust me” vibe. Did he do something amazing on The Apprentice? I never watched that screen feces, so I don’t know what was portrayed. I can only assume it was something spellbinding and miraculous based on the cultist compulsion millions of human brains seem to exhibit.

      Or did they all just hate Hillary Clinton or Obama SO MUCH that it permanently broke their brains?

        He tells the shitty people that their hate is good and proper, so they convince themselves that his actions are correct.

        Trump openly promises fascism in terms stupid enough that fascists can understand.

        There’s not much more to it.

      I assume you mean a western country with intent to seize, because we invaded Iraq and Afghanistan and NATO supported those campaigns.

        To be clear, NATO had no role in the invasion of Iraq, but UK and some other NATO members were part of the coalition.

          Yeah. And the proud boys and KKK just have members who are also members of the republican party. The party of course has no role in it ;)

          While NATO’s Article 5 states that an attack on one member is an attack on all, it does not mandate a specific response, but rather each member decides what actions it deems necessary to assist the attacked member.

          Besides, Panama is not a NATO member.

          That clause is null and void between member states to prevent a WW1 situation.

          Also, Panama isn’t a member and would be defending, not invading.

              Canada is also a member of the Commonwealth, so the UK would pretty much be forced to go to war against the US if Canada was invaded.
