Why the fuck does NATO need to 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.

Trump is objectively a greater threat to attack another NATO country than Putin is.
It’s crazy the extent to which mainstream liberals are living in a manufactured reality
I’m not a mainstream liberal but nice try
Why would Russia try to invade the rest of Europe lmao

They started the first land war in Europe since WW2. That reason enough?
Funny you need to add “land” because NATO bombed the hell out of Yugoslavia
Say what?

Found the .ml user
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?
Honestly didnt even notice I was on an .ml community. That explains why everyone in this comment section sounds like a condescending dick tho
If you walk into a bar and “everyone” is an asshole, I have some bad news for you
If you’re part of a lemmy instance and nearly every other instance on the fediverse has problems with you, then I have some bad news for you

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.
