My latest: NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte pushed back on U.S. President Donald Trump’s skepticism that allies would come to his country’s defense if it triggered Article 5, saying he had “no doubt” that they would, as they had done before. Under NATO’s Article 5, an attack on one member is considered an attack on all, ensuring collective defense if an ally invokes it.
Trump doesn’t understand the difference between promises made and promises kept.

People in Denmark call NATO chief Mark Rutte gris (pig) for a reason.
Rutte is so pathetic since he says Trump is a great leader

If Trump can’t make money off of it, he’s not comin.

Honestly glad someone said it straight. You can’t keep hinting that mutual defense is negotiable and expect allies not to freak out a little.

… I mean as long as he doesn’t invade a NATO country first.

Distraction from Ukraine is a main objective. T talks about potential Russian threat while he’d be happy to let Russia to take Ukraine.

How insulting! Danes sent soldiers only 20 years ago to defend the US when they invoked Article 5. They had the highest per capita deaths from the coalition.
The only country to ever invoke article 5 was the US. It’s the US that has never proven they would be there for us – we have already proven it to them.

America isn’t the leader of the free world, it’s the Doorman. All brawn, no brains.

It’s just a stupid statement. The one time article 5 was triggered in the wake of 9/11, NATO allies joined the US in the hunt for the fabled WMDs and to bring everlasting peace & stability to the Middle-East. DENMARK’s sons died for this.
There’s not a single credible basis to assume that NATO allies would not aid the US when article 5 is triggered.

It’s shocking to me that a child rapist would betray someone’s trust. /s

If you ever think that your job is useless, remember that there is a NATO chief.

Remember when the military turned against McCarthy? Are they all just sycophants now? They okay with stabbing their allies in the back? Same ones who died for our bullshit wars in the Middle East?

Germany was having trouble
What a sad, sad story
Needed a new leader to restore
Its former glory
Where, oh, where was he?
Where could that man be?
We looked around and then we found
The man for you and me
LEAD TENOR STORMTROOPER:
And now it’s…
Springtime for Hitler and Germany
Deutschland is happy and gay!
We’re marching to a faster pace
Look out, here comes the master race!
Springtime for Hitler and Germany
Rhineland’s a fine land once more!
Springtime for Hitler and Germany
Watch out, Europe
We’re going on tour!
Springtime for Hitler and Germany…
CHORUS:
Look, it’s springtime
LEAD TENOR STORMTROOPER:
Winter for Poland and France
CHORUS AND STORMTROOPER:
Springtime for Hitler and Germany!
CHORUS:
Springtime! Springtime!
Springtime! Springtime!
Springtime! Springtime!

This guy is a bit of a wet fucking idiot. He would go to US but would he go for Greenland. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. We need strength now. Not weakness. We will soon have to make the right choice and not the easy one even if it means declaring war on the United States for attacking a NATO ally. Hopefully people in America wake the fuck up then.

History matters more than doubts here.
