NATO is already done.
The United States of America is now an ally of the Russian Federation, and an adversary of European democracies.

NEW: President Trump is considering a major change to the U.S.’ participation in NATO, officials say.
As part of the potential shift, the U.S. might not defend a NATO member that is attacked if the country doesn’t meet the defense spending threshold.

US Constitution, Art II, Sec 2, Cl 2 - Treaty ratified by 2/3 of the Senate has the force of law.
NATO - US approved & Ratified 1949 as Founding Member
Any attempt by Trump to withdraw from NATO or limit US obligations violates the USConst.
with annexation and
Greenland with invasion.
Siding with putin....
Americans are NOT
One Trump was a mistak, Trump 47 is a pattern. Reforms your country and maybe you have a chance in a few decades.
We mostly forgave the French for Saar 1939, it only took a bit more then half a century.
Your country elected sentenced criminal and Putin friend.
Sorry, you either can emigration to Europe, stay silent and become Hungary but bigger or fight political war like Ukraine in 2014, Georgia now or Poland 1980-1989.
Trump didn’t win.
Trump and Musk altered the election data.
You will never change my mind.
Don’t bother to try.
The USA spends 716 billion dollars on its defense
It may return if and when it comes to its senses.
Meantime, countries need to invest in their own defense infrastructure - armoured vehs, small arms, artillery, comms systems. Integrated but separate.
What’s next?
Beware, nuclear weapons can be built by any country today!

This time he's going all the way.
But hey, it's not like he didn't give us a heads up.

I suppose trans athletes are just as important as the post WW II security apparatus
Trump supports Putin, re: "President Putin says it's not Russia. I don't see any reason why it would be."

Treason: No better aid and comfort to the enemy than tell the world you don't trust your intelligence service.
Russia vote: no
USA vote: no
NATO must expel USA. US is global pariah lead by a fragile, unstable and vengeful moron.
No one voted for this.
The world already knows it cant count on Trump. He threatened to annex land from one NATO member, and take over another completely
- what is the process for pressing charges for treason?
if what is happening is not treason -- what IS?
I know it has been a long, long time ( far as I know ) -- but treason is still a crime, right?

They have ~5years to get ready to fight Russia in the East and the USA in the West.
"We must ensure we are protecting our national interests and protecting the country” Congress approves bill barring any president from unilaterally withdrawing from NATO.

"...all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby..."
-from Constitution of the USA.
Presumably administrators too.
The Trump administration plans to use is often. Starting with Mexico, Panama, Gaza, Ukraine, Canada, and Greenland. Did I miss anyone? Oh, yeah…. in the US against citizens that protest against the coup.
- terrorist organizations via clandestine deals set up by CIA?
😂
Its not done. It's just getting a massive makeover.
Believe it or not there is a whole world outside of the USA.
But I suspect the man knows what per capita means as much as the difference between transgender and transgenic and yea I had to look it up.
It's not 'United States of America and Friends Treaty Organisation'.
We should be treating all standard procedures as compromised either way. We pick up the slack. It's a HUGE loss, a betrayal, but it is what it is. We must tighten our bonds and prepare.
I know the ramifications of this move but the ONLY thing trump reacts to is humiliation and insults.
It’s time we change our tactics!
I think the other countries should kick US OUT, then tell them to get all the troops, equipment, everything the fuck out of Europe, etc.
We have foreign alliances who actually care about American Citizens.
It’s just a matter of time when these 3 enemies will be headlines🪦💀🪦I truly believe it’s inevitable 🎯🎯
Canada and Europe should have been planning for this from the moment Donald got elected. They've wasted four months.
Not a single one of them cares a whit about the USA.
National emergency is what he'll say. The national emergency is TRUMP IN THE WHITEHOUSE.
I agree with the Calgary graffiti artist
Licence for Patriot missiles and HIMARS amunition would be nice.
We need to build some alternatives so if USA will still accept cash for amunition it's prudent to make sure we buy as much as we can.
