Germany and other European nations explored possible responses, including invoking NATO’s Article 5, though it was ruled out due to US veto power.
And this is the only reason why Trump didn't pull the US out of NATO.
Because of the veto power, he can effectively block them from taking action against the United States.
NATO is dead.
If other world leaders had half a brain between them, they would be forming a new alliance without the United States as we speak.
My Grandfather.
He was a drunk and a a wife beater.
One night starting at about 10 pm he beat my grandma to the brink of death with anything he could find.
He broke the walnut coat tree over her head, beat her with the radio, whipped her with his belt, broke her hands, tired her up behind his car and drug her up and down the gravel road, burned her clothes, and left her outside in February and kept dumping water on her trying to wake her up.
He finally stopped around 5 am when he called my mom because she wouldn't wake up.
My mom and aunt took her to the hospital and sent the cops after him.
He tried to say she did it to herself and then charged his story to say that she ran off with "a bunch of n*ggers to do cocaine".
She was in a coma and was pronounced brain dead 4 days after it happened.
There were belt marks on her back and stomach and you could clearly read his name from his belt buckle.
I vividly remember sitting though the court hearings and testifying at 12 years old.
He went to prison, we had to fight his parole every 5 years to keep him in, because he would have killed all of us for putting him in there, for 20 years.
In 2020 he died a slow and horrible death in the prison infirmary of Covid, he suffered for weeks and not one of his children or grandchildren went to visit him in his final days.
If you have room for it, buy some chickens.
Tractor supply Company sells them as chicks in the spring.
This pranks the factory farm industry by refusing to give them money to continue their cruel, unsanitary, and inhumane practices.
It really makes me wonder how people were able to pull this shit off in the 50s, 60s and 70s when we can't make it happen today with everything available to us.
It's a sign of distress.
They were distressed, but it's only because they're sore losers and couldn't cope with Trump losing.
This is actual distress, it's appropriate this time.
If you're fine with using the previous generation, there will be plenty of available for cheaper soon.
And although the switch 2 is backward compatible, the current generation already has a full library of games.
The Republican party has long referred to the events of January 6th as "legitimate political discourse", and Trump even went so far as to pardon those who stormed the capital on January 6th.
Well, if it's legitimate political discourse, there shouldn't be any problem in us doing it either.
Trump won with 1% of the vote.
35% of registered, eligible voters stayed home. If 1% of those that stayed home would have voted we would be in a different world right now.
Protest voters are absolutely to blame for this.
And this is the only reason why Trump didn't pull the US out of NATO.
Because of the veto power, he can effectively block them from taking action against the United States.
