Left politicians call for Europe to exit #NATO amid US-Israeli attacks on #Iran

@muir The veto vote rule needs to be removed from NATOs policies, and countries within NATO have to be held accountable for their war crimes.
It is still the largest "system of collective security, whereby its independent member states agree to mutual defence in response to an attack by any outside party", as article 5 states, potentially a force for peace.
It just needs to add an article that member states cannot start wars unless in defence and hold those same member states to that article.

@RandamuMaki @muir why does a "veto" exist in any democratic system except to protect the self-interest of a minority.

@Herefordrob @muir I'd hardly think that NATO's veto vote is to protect the self-interest of a minority, and thus it should go.
