Former NATO SG, now FinMin of Norway, Jens Stoltenberg, stated that the attack on Iran was unlawful and that this is the position of Norway. He also commented on NATO as a whole and its survival of the Trump admin.

Article 5 of the 1949 North Atlantic Treaty specifically focuses on "an armed attack against one or more of them [the parties] in Europe or North America."

Like NATO did after 9/11.

But this?

Uh ... no.

Maybe the Israeli Navy can hop on over and play? But nicer than with the USS Liberty (en.wikipedia.org), please.

Donald Trump was swaggering, sneering at these people just a few days ago. Now he's threatening them, BEGGING them for their help.

Donald Trump is mentally sick scum. Everything boils down to that.

Our resident MAGA are at long last starting that Back Under the Rocks Stage. Where they will stay dormant, like grubs, for some extended period of time.

It's not that they realize that they've done badly. Oh, no. They think that they have always been entirely right.

It's Trump who has failed them. Trump who wasn't the Second, Third, and Fourth Coming of Christ.

Like Trump himself, they never see themselves as the cause of disaster.

They're perfect.

That's pretty pointed.

"help bail us out of a bad situation I alone created or I will take my toys and soldiers and go home."

Nato is saying clean up your own mess. I don't blame them at all after they way the "dump" treats his allies.

NATO is a defensive treaty. They have absolutely no obligation to support or get involved in offensive operations.

He's on his own.

Which of his kids has volunteered to join the military to support this war? Oh... none of them? Big surprise. Republicans are such f-ing cowards.

Biden had a child in the military, who was deployed to Iraq. If anyone is curious what not-a-coward looks like.

Why does Trump need help with something he said we've already won.
