so I don't expect a helping hand tbh

NATO bombed serbia

switched from military targets to civilian ones as it wasn't effective enough

It's not that I don't trust Trump but he looks for America he doesn't care for my country

We have a mutual defense clause so if two NATO countries fight, who are we supposed to defend?

Shows how ridiculous NATO is in the first place

Last time kissinger let the turks to invade cyprus and even wrote on his book that there wasn't any particular reason not to let it happen as he was fearing for a communists take over on Greece

after a lot of pressure they vetted turks for only a year without a harsh punishment and it was lifted with the new president

we all know what happened to the innocent cypriot civilians

I don't understand why Turkey is a member

Funny thing though it was that even British army was going to respond to turks on cyprus but they got called back by NATO

Unless it's just to use NATO as a legal defense against Russia etc

The only thing that I don't really understand, who truly controlls NATO?

considering historical connections is surprising the UK government did nothing

they tried but they called back

when they were going to respond for a counter attack

Jens Stoltenberg, Norway

It's obsolete and provocative since the end of the Cold War

Why have a permanent military alliance and mutual defense agreement? Against who? Who do they think will attack them?

I don't even understand why Greece is on NATO after the betrayal over cyprus

Money

If everyone else is obligated to protect you, and the world's most powerful military is part of the club, then why would you spend anything on national defense?

Because we didn't get protected in the first place though as we are giving a lot of money on national defense at least before tsipras

And if you only have yourself to count on, then you spend more

It also looks good to people

Political stunt

True

Especially being so close to Russia

Russia isn't gonna invade anyone. But you gotta have a Boogeyman to win an election

We elect politicians to fix problems

What better problem than but muh russia

A lot of people are still alive from that era when we were all pointing nukes at each other.

Funny thing is we are in bad terms with russia now too

because of the shitty politician we have

even our church is divided as we have heretics on the higher ranks now

The orthodox church is silent as the most higher-ups are in terms with communists

And we are almost in schism with the orthodox church of russia

TY UK VERY NICE

I wonder when they will make a law that you need a license to breath

a license to pee
