The Only Time NATO Ever Activated Article 5 And It Was for America #shorts

Education

For decades, North Atlantic Treaty Organization was seen as the military shield of Western Europe. Its most important rule was simple: An attack on one member would be treated as an attack on all. During the Cold War, many expected that clause to be triggered by a conflict in Europe. It never was. Instead, the first and only activation came after the September 11 attacks. Allied nations rallied behind America. European and Canadian crews even helped patrol U.S. skies. In more than seven decades of NATO history, the alliance's most powerful promise has been used exactly once. And it was used for the United States.

We don't need NATO. They need our billions so their countries don't have to build a competent miltiary and thus spend taxes on health care

Operation Northwoods. Conceived in 1962, JFK rejected it, JFK gets assassinated in 1963, accusations against Vietnam come in 1964, and they went to war in 1965. And in 2001 they repeated it to justify their illegal invasions.

Shows up after when and where it's safe, claims its useful... 100% If there was air combat over the US, Europe wouldn't be here, they'd be making deals with whoever was. When pressured to "do their part" they run straight to China. Enough is enough.

But we all KNOW if any member state was attacked today it would be AMERICA that wouldn't answer. The American people have spoken, twice. If article 5 is triggered while that traitor is in power NATO dies

And a more powerful army will one day appear and not an alliance will be able to save them.and all their allies will only be left with dread and shock when babylon the great is brought to the lowest of the low and everything they did to others be done to unto them as it is written.

Hundreds of allied soldiers died fighting in your wars only for their memory to be shat on by your waste of breath president.
