    NATO in 2025 is not an American prop–

    Lemme stop you there. The US is NATO and always has been. The majority of hardware in NATO is made by the US. The majority of its wars directly involved the US. Nobody lifts a finger without the US telling them to. And when the US says “jump,” NATO asks “How high?”

    “Pretty much run by Europeans,” is like saying my dad let me drive the car when I was 3 and put it in reverse.

      Believing that probably reduces the cognitive dissonance that results from supporting NATO while recognizing that the US is fascist.
