like you go to the not-believing-until-seeing convention with lies and what? expect to get away with it?
Not the person you asked but I'm interested if I'm passing the vibe check
I hate that NATO exists, but I see that it has currently a purpose because other forces would and did overpower countries that aren't included in a military alliance with mutual support obligations.
I want NATO to be a thing of the past as soon as possible but that doesn't mean dismantle it and be helpless again. It means we need to get rid of the need for a NATO.
