Usually I take issue with that take, because nobody would be fighting unless they thought they knew a way to win (which implies a weakness even in a strong adversary), but fuck everything, this orange fool can't help but fit every stereotype and definition.
The USA after the September 11 attacks on the WTC declared war on terror and invoked article 5 of the NATO treaty.
In the two following wars (Afghanistan and Iraq) and the resulting instable occupation of both, many servicemen from other NATO countries lost their lives in service to US wars.
It is also good to remember whocreated the Mujahideen, the Taliban and Al-Qaeda in the first place, because that's all the US.
And what of Iran? Well the US wanted Mohammad Mosaddegh (the secular and democratically elected leader of Iran) gone, because he wanted to nationalize the iranian oil. So the CIA staged a coup to put the Shah in place who let US and british oil companies into the country again, a totalitarian, dictatorial monarch who suppressed his own people so much, that they turned to the only power left that was able to rid them of his tyranical rule: The Mullahs.
All of this, every little bit, is COMPLETELY the US' fault and ALWAYS has the USA been unable to clean their own mess themselves alone.
While it is a dramatisation and takes creative liberties, I still wholeheartedly recommend Charlie Wilson’s War as a way to explain just how the US managed to fuck itself by abandoning the Mujahideen and the Afghan people (and not for the last time) post-Soviet defeat - directly leading to the creation of Al’Qaeda, and therefore the 9/11 attacks.
Plus it has Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts, so it’s an easy watch.
Most NATO members weren't part of that 'coalition', and most members of that coalition weren't NATO members. So I think it's at the very least a bit disingenious to try and rub those two things together
Someone made a Trump AI but forgot to tell it not to use them. His brain is so toast there's no way he had the attention to write all that. It's totally PedoAI.
The People's Republic of America has beaten the Iran military into absolute submission and totally demolished any chance of retribution!
We will be continuing this war that we already have totally won! The bombarding of the Strait of Hormuz will continue, until the willingness for unarmed ships to cross it improves!
I can't WAIT until the narcissist realizes he is at the end of his line, I hope he fails to Hitler himself in some bunker. I hope he is captured alive.
JFC what a sad cry baby... The other boys didn't wanted to play with him because he's creepy and can't stop looking under the girls dresses, and now he's literally whining about it to the entire world
Wait, I thought there were already a bunch of countries lined up to help, just trying to get all of their ships to Hormuz to help open a strait that's already open in order to win a war that's already over against a country whose military has been completely destroyed in order to eliminate a nuclear program which was completely obliterated eight months ago and could never be rebuilt?
This is "The Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly" but the old lady is on a really bad acid trip.
Probably listened to his Nazi supporters such as QAnon too much who believe The Jews^TM^ rule the world from behind the scenes. So having Israel on board equals having the entire world's backing by that twisted logic
Did someone tell him that Perun had cut the "here's why the US doesn't have enough boats to escort all the traffic through the strait and would need a coalition to have any chance of success" part from his latest video, or is that just a deeply ironic coincidence.

Because if you can't win with rhetoric then killing is the next best option. Brought to you by fascists white washing murder into a wholesome movie.

It's important not to conflate the attack on Iraq with NATO. Not that many nations were dumb enough to follow Bush into that one
mimavox@piefed.social · 6 pts · 157d
Exactly, The Article 5 thing didn't fly, so they created a "coalition of the willing" instead. But that didn't have anything to do with NATO.
Enkrod@feddit.org · 1 pts · 157d
Still, many members of the "willing" were NATO members, so NATO servicemen lost their lives for a US war.
