@ohmu Ya… the wallflowers at Golf Club ballroom are all heading out to Carney’s basement to drink aakavit & dance to Europe’s garage band instead… Much more fun…

@kateinkharkivAdmiral Bauer: The 'red lines' Putin was always talking about were never actually red lines. He was bluffing.Back then, number of NATO leaders were very worried that giving certain types of weapons to Ukraine might lead to escalation of the conflict.Whenever we discussed providing Ukraine with tanks, HIMARS, F-16s, or ATACMS, Russians would say, “This is red line.”https://bsky.app/profile/kateinkharkiv.bsky.social/post/3mkj32xrntk2l#EU #NATO #UkraineWar #Politics

An internal Pentagon document leaked on April 24, 2026, reveals that the United States considered punishing NATO allies for refusing to support the American military campaign against Iran. Among the options: suspending Spain's NATO membership and reviewing US support for British sovereignty over the Falkland Islands.NATO responded immediately. The Secretary General stated that the Washington Treaty contains no provision for expelling members. Allies can leave voluntarily but cannot be removed by another member's decision, even by the United States. Spain has been a NATO member since 1982.The British reaction was restrained but firm. Downing Street stated that the Falkland Islands are a British overseas territory and this is not a matter for any negotiation, regardless of the state of transatlantic relations. A Falklands veteran told the BBC that the news made him feel his sacrifice was made in vain.The leak is not an impulsive move. It reflects a systematic effort to transform NATO from a collective security alliance into a transactional structure where support is exchanged for concessions. The alliance has functioned for 77 years on the principle that an attack on one is an attack on all. Article 5 never obligated members to join offensive operations initiated by another member.This matters for Ukraine and the EU. If US support for allies is conditional and transactional, strategic calculations must account for this. Berlin and Paris are already discussing independent European nuclear deterrence. Baltic states have faced delays in American weapons shipments redirected to the Persian Gulf.The question is not whether Spain will be suspended. The question is how many times the US can act this way before allies begin seeking alternatives.#NATO #Pentagon #Spain #Falklands #IranWar #Transatlantic #Security #Trumphttps://newsgroup.site/us-nato-spain-suspension-pentagon-iran-war/

@Free_Press and what does Macron do ? Just play along them to please his rich friends…. We don’t need words. We want actions now.

NATO's expansion rhetoric conveniently sidesteps the escalating costs for already strained member economies while fueling the very tensions it claims to deter. Endless growth isn't strategy - it's a costly provocation that pulls us closer to unnecessary conflict. #NATO #ForeignPolicy #DefenseSpending

A leaked Pentagon internal document proposed suspending Spain from NATO — and reviewing US support for UK's Falklands claim — as punishment for not joining the Iran war.NATO responded: there is 'no provision' to expel members. UK's Downing St: 'position unchanged.'But the fact that this was discussed in official Defense Dept documents changes the nature of the Atlantic alliance. Not a partnership of equals — a hierarchy where Washington decides who stays and who goes.Full analysis: https://newsgroup.site/us-nato-spain-suspension-pentagon-iran-war/#NATO #Spain #IranWar #Geopolitics #Pentagon

@RunRichRun The US wasn't even party to the 1948 Treaty of Brussels.
