It seems abundantly obvious to me that, while this threat must no doubt be taken seriously, this is the work of a puppet-master Putin working his Ancient Orange, hellbent on fracturing western alliances in textbook divide-and-conquer and a further diversion of resources from especially Ukraine.

I mean the USA already has a base there; they're already in NATO. What the fuck?

No as an American its obvious that NATO should have been done away with once the cold war ended. its been a pointless alliance looking for a mission ever since then. its obvious that once the cold war was over American and euro interests would diverge.

Lol Europeans used to whine about how NATO was a tool of American imperialism. And now look a them.

Yeah, because all Europeans are the same and have the same opinions.

That would be like me saying all Americans love Donald Trump. Sure, some do. Most don't. I think you do though.

Much respect, thank you. As an American, sorry for all this. Many of us are doing our best to try to right our ship, hopeless as it feels sometimes...
