At this rate, we may accidentally support ISIS.

2018-03-07 17:26:51 UTC  

We're supporting the kurds

2018-03-07 17:26:57 UTC  

The other factions failed

2018-03-07 17:27:00 UTC  

...and Turkey...

2018-03-07 17:27:06 UTC  

Which is why you saw ISIS get some of our materials

2018-03-07 17:27:18 UTC  

And we've always supported Turkey

2018-03-07 17:27:23 UTC  

Atleast in the setting of the cold war

2018-03-07 17:27:25 UTC  

For no good reason.

2018-03-07 17:27:29 UTC  

We want them as a NATO partner

2018-03-07 17:27:33 UTC  

They're always starting shit.

2018-03-07 17:27:38 UTC  

For our strategic positioning in the east

2018-03-07 17:27:39 UTC  

Fuck NATO.

2018-03-07 17:27:47 UTC  

We don't need NATO at all.

2018-03-07 17:27:49 UTC  

We use them as a base of operations against "Russian aggression"

2018-03-07 17:27:52 UTC  

And now terrorists

2018-03-07 17:27:56 UTC  

And I wouldn't be so sure.

2018-03-07 17:28:07 UTC  

Then we need to ally with Russia immediately.

2018-03-07 17:28:08 UTC  

We just had Russia invade Ukraine and get away with it lmao

2018-03-07 17:28:16 UTC  

If NATO dissolves

2018-03-07 17:28:18 UTC  

Then what lol

2018-03-07 17:28:31 UTC  

If NATO dissolves, nothing would happen.

2018-03-07 17:28:54 UTC  

Only there would no longer be a standard quo of anti imperialism against Russia

2018-03-07 17:29:05 UTC  

One they already showed they dont care about too much anyway

2018-03-07 17:29:17 UTC  

But there is a reason they went after Ukraine

2018-03-07 17:29:18 UTC  

If we ally with Russia, there would be no more fighting and NATO would be irrelevant.

2018-03-07 17:29:28 UTC  

And not a NATO member

2018-03-07 17:29:33 UTC  

Good.

2018-03-07 17:29:33 UTC  

And we won't ally with Russia

2018-03-07 17:29:40 UTC  

Russia is more powerful that NATO.

2018-03-07 17:29:46 UTC  

No it isnt

2018-03-07 17:29:57 UTC  

We still maintain the first use policy

2018-03-07 17:30:12 UTC  

Russia and the US have an opportunity to control all militaristic activity.

2018-03-07 17:30:25 UTC  

And what NATO is, is a line in the sand saying We'll nuke the shit out of you

2018-03-07 17:30:36 UTC  

It you invade these countries

2018-03-07 17:30:48 UTC  

Ukraine wasnt on that list of countries.

2018-03-07 17:31:33 UTC  

Then why can't we have NATO stick around while US and Russia become allies to conduct peacekeeping operations and end the fighting completely?

2018-03-07 17:32:04 UTC  

Because thats in neither party's interests?

2018-03-07 17:32:16 UTC  

The only reason Russia is there is to project power abroad

2018-03-07 17:32:27 UTC  

And to try and fill a void the US left

2018-03-07 17:32:30 UTC  

So...fighting is within every party's interest?

2018-03-07 17:32:38 UTC  

Yes, essentially
