It was 9/11, when Saudi nationals attacked the WTC, so we asked NATO to send troops to Afghanistan and Iraq

On the evening of September 11, 2001, NATO's Secretary General, the Baron Robertson of Port Ellen, contacted United States Secretary of State Colin Powell with the suggestion that declaring an Article 5 contingency would be a useful political statement for the alliance to make in response to the attacks earlier that day. Powell indicated the United States had no interest in making such a request to the alliance, but would look favorably on such a declaration were NATO to independently initiate it.[

And? Are you discounting my grandfather crossing the Atlantic to spill his blood and guts to defend Europe.
Sounds like it.
It makes you sound like an anti-American shitbag that prefers the nice warm collectivism of modern day Europe.

It was 9/11. Apparently the rest of NATO will just sit on their hands & say "well not yet"

Could that have anything to do with the US being the only country who actually invested enough money in our military to provide a defense that protects all of their asses?
Nah, no way that could have anything to do with it.
You people have no ability to think, do you?

I don’t think that was his point but rather his grandfather bled, as did my father, for helping out the Europeans

And yet we still sent our people die for the Europeans. Let’s not pretend Europe sacrificing a few hundred dudes over the course of a 15 year war makes us even. They still owe us.

Yep. We have really taken advantage of these European nations. Conservatives, liberals, globalists, nationalists, etc. We all finally agree, Europe shouldn't have to put up with us.

Facts don’t care about your feelings, snowflake

You’re right man. America is asshoe and treats Europe bad. They should kick us out of NATO
Posted on 1/21/26 at 8:18 pm to Hateradedrink
You’re very wrong. They have not had near close the troops and amount of cycles as us. The numbers are no where close. The reason why they have higher casualties is because their military vehicles and operations got them killed.

The only country from NATO to ever ask other countries to spill blood and treasure is the United States. NATO countries sent their sons to die for the United States of America.
NATO? You mean the organization that exists because a whole bunch of American sons spilled blood on European soil?

So does that mean the United States is not the only country to ever invoke Article 5?

Can you expound? You’re free to post other facts you think add context, like the U.S. provides more $$$ than any other country. No one is stopping you.
