What is NATOs involvement there?
every single country in that T-word organization (I leave figuring out what the "T" word is as an exercise for the reader) provides material support, whether directly or indirectly, to the settler-colonial entity.
The main NATO member countries are backing Israel, with money, weaponry, and promises of defense. This happened when the US invaded Iraq also.
Yes, but individual countries supporting Israel by eiter finance, ammo or just providing Air defense doesn't make this a NATO operation just because they are in NATO.
The US is making full usage of the bases in Europe to support Israel, without them it would have been logistically very hard; short of like the invasion of Afghanistan without the collaboration of Pakistan. These US bases fall under the US European Command (EUCOM) but are integrated into NATO’s architecture. The European NATO members, not only provide the bases, but subsidize the costs (e.g., infrastructure, utilities), therefore, becoming participants with the Israeli Campaign.
Countries can have some say. Spain, for instance, blocked some US airplanes destined to some campaigns, but it is just symbolic since the US just need not to declare the intention (or lie) and that is the end of the restrictions. It is not like Spain is going to inspect the vast amount of tonnage the US military is moving through Spanish ports, let alone between US bases. US could easily avoid the bases in Spain and use instead Germany, Italy and Morocco, but why would do so, when you can just humiliate your vassals in their face and have no repercussion at all... same as blowing up Nord Stream 2.
With all that is happening in the world, someone decides to spend time to make a meme about NATO being a bad guy?
Given that NATO is actively supporting the worst thing going on the world (as usual), yes?
Well yeah, considering they are the bad guy, NATO is nothing but an organization for the furtherance of US empire led expansionism
And what happens if we don't stop it soon? They will attack... Russia or something?
They'll continue to kill by the hundreds of thousands in the middle east.
Never ask an EU supporter about why their own country doesn't get to decide things for its self
Zing! 😆
What do you not like about the EU and do you think Germany should leave the EU?
What do you not like about the EU
centralizing control is bad. It gives less freedom and autonomy to the common man.
A citizen of a country in the EU votes for their parliment or congress or whatever to decide things, but then the EU parliment can just override whatever your elected officals decide. Doesn't that piss you off? Imagine an entire continent being an HOA neighborhood. Where the HOA gets to dictate everything you do with your own house that they don't own, don't pay bills for and don't maintain for you... and that's a metaphor for the EU
I wouldn't just get rid of the EU if I had my way, I'd de-centralize as much authority as possible down to every town being a self governing local community.
But with a constituion of rights that are always off the table for any debate.
Full bodily autonomy, free speech, gun ownership, right to privacy, right to remain silent, right to a fair trial with legal representation..competent legal represenation that won't pressure you into admitting anything...basically a set of rights that allow you to do what you want with your own things and your own land
If you have a problem with gun ownership. You won't once you've had to deal with someone invading your home. What? you think calling the police is going to stop a home invader from hurting you?
"hey I just called the police!"
"oh shit! you got me! Guess I'll just sit here and wait to be arrested"
I can understand why local governing is nice. You always feel more involved and represented when you actually know the people in your government. But the European Parliament is elected as well. I would personally support making it more important and taking some authority away from the commission and council. But other than that, I am actually relatively happy with the EU.
It brought many great things with it, especially free trade and free travel. If you are a citizen of any EU country and move to another EU country, you have almost the same rights as a full citizen of that country. I just love that. Crossing a border between EU countries is like crossing a state border. This makes the lives of so many people so much easier. The same applies for the many streamlined regulations.
In addition, I mostly also like the rulings of the EU. I lt often stops harmful laws from passing (especially things like censorship). Sadly, some countries just ignore EU law without much consequences, which has to be stopped in my opinion.
In some way, I think the EU actually gives some more power to the people. If you imagine Austria passing a low, the world may ignore that. But if the EU passes a law, it is important and the US or China must pay attention.
And I don't really know what you are talking about gun control here. I would never support wide spread gun ownership, since I personally really hate terrorism and enjoy the low gun violence rates. It obviously happens, but much less than in the US.
Never ask a nato supporter who Adolf heusinger was.
