how is that useless

2019-10-10 16:37:29 UTC  

The French and Italian navies?

2019-10-10 16:37:30 UTC  

Won't they be too busy inheriting the middle eastern muslims' terror?

2019-10-10 16:37:32 UTC  

If the govt in power doesn't want to honer the NATO agreement, they'll just commit as little as they can to keep the pretence...

2019-10-10 16:37:37 UTC  

they fucked it up even worse, it was a shitshow for a long time before that

2019-10-10 16:38:03 UTC  

German Leopards are the best in the world..

2019-10-10 16:38:13 UTC  

>Except for the T14 which is a paper tiger

2019-10-10 16:38:22 UTC  

Europeans are developing tech you're using..

2019-10-10 16:38:26 UTC  

@Nathan James 123 Eh, an Abhrams isn't too bad all things considered 😉

2019-10-10 16:38:34 UTC  

And allowed to use thanks to NATO cooperation

2019-10-10 16:38:38 UTC  

Which is why Poland is trying to get permanent US military presence... you just can't rely on a piece of paler

2019-10-10 16:38:41 UTC  

*paper

2019-10-10 16:38:51 UTC  

@Sawyer42 Hmmm <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

2019-10-10 16:38:58 UTC  

@leavethisbotnet like everything else in the world, you can until you can't

2019-10-10 16:39:03 UTC  

That doesn't mean its useless

2019-10-10 16:39:12 UTC  

oh, certainly

2019-10-10 16:39:52 UTC  

But one shouldn't pretend that a piece of paper is a reliable guarantee

2019-10-10 16:40:33 UTC  

Tripwire troops are a reliable guarantee

2019-10-10 16:40:41 UTC  

If you make yourself into a reliable partner, that's way better guarantee

2019-10-10 16:41:02 UTC  

I know that "israel is our best ally" is a meme, but in the ME context it's not wrong

2019-10-10 16:41:03 UTC  

Define "reliable partner"

2019-10-10 16:41:15 UTC  

Do you realise that certain countries in NATO have certain roles?

2019-10-10 16:41:30 UTC  

The Royal Navy was orientated for Sub hunting during the cold war

2019-10-10 16:41:45 UTC  

Argubly they weren't a "reliable partner" when it comes to surface warfare.

2019-10-10 16:41:56 UTC  

Due to NATO requirements, they didn't go down that route...

2019-10-10 16:42:24 UTC  

Reliable as in you make the other state feel as though they can trust you that you that the next government won't just leave you on a whim.

2019-10-10 16:42:33 UTC  

Israel is reliable in this sense.

2019-10-10 16:42:44 UTC  

The USA seems to be the "reliable partner" in that sense then.

2019-10-10 16:42:52 UTC  

Cold war has been over for decades. Who has a military and works with us now? UK is on that list. Pretty sure Poland is as well.

2019-10-10 16:42:57 UTC  

Abandoning allies and agreements left and right.

2019-10-10 16:43:10 UTC  

First you broke your agreement about NATO expansion, then about protecting Ukraine, now the Kurds.

2019-10-10 16:43:17 UTC  

Why would anyone assume the USA is a "reliable partner" ?

2019-10-10 16:43:25 UTC  

Given your own definition, they're not.

2019-10-10 16:43:29 UTC  

<:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

2019-10-10 16:43:30 UTC  

unfortunately I agree

2019-10-10 16:43:41 UTC  

AMERICA is the reliable partner <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

2019-10-10 16:43:42 UTC  

though I will say

2019-10-10 16:43:43 UTC  

Not Europe

2019-10-10 16:43:44 UTC  

LOL

2019-10-10 16:43:45 UTC  

Certainly US doesn't have a perfect track record, but when one is THE hegemon, you have to make some compromises

2019-10-10 16:43:46 UTC  

fuck Ukraine
