I mean this was always the case, right? Just the headline is making people think the alliance is falling apart.

Article 5 only says all parties will take “…such actions as deemed necessary…to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.”

Looks good, but charges a standard 10% booking fee which seems very steep imo. But I’m a cheap ass…

I don’t think I can agree on this take that without this bad actor, Europe would be without concerns. It seems too simple.

Resources are not equally distributed and conflict will always arise from conflicting private/corporate and/or national interests. If Russia was not there, another would likely take its place.

I do however agree that if everyone could think in a bigger picture beyond their own personal interests, we would be in a significantly better place.

Same shit as “natural gas”. Don’t worry, it’s organic certified!
