Nato members have pledged their support for an “irreversible path” to future membership for Ukraine, as well as more aid.

While a formal timeline for it to join the military alliance was not agreed at a summit in Washington DC, the military alliance’s 32 members said they had “unwavering” support for Ukraine’s war effort.

Nato has also announced further integration with Ukraine’s military and members have committed €40bn ($43.3bn, £33.7bn) in aid in the next year, including F-16 fighter jets and air defence support.

The bloc’s Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said: “Support to Ukraine is not charity - it is in our own security interest.”

Whats your counterpoint then, give me something to work with other than “youre wrong” I laid out my sources. But let me let ya in on a little secret, that which is asserted without evidence can and should be dismissed without evidence. You have made assertion that NATO as an alliance was involved directly in Iraq, but the closest thing is some random shit in Turkey and Poland getting help with logistics during the occupation period.

For fucks sake the strongest evidence against your assertion is the fact that some Americans tried renaming french fries freedom fries, all because the French wanted nothing to do with that clusterfuck. Ya know France one of the founding members of NATO.

Either put up or shutup. Cause its easy to say no its an entirely different thing to make a proper fucken argument.

Impressive that you made all of this up before opening google. It cost me 30 seconds to find a mountain of evidence contradicting everything you just typed.

We are discussing fucken Iraq and you bring up Enduring Freedom, which was a clusterfuck in Afghanistan. Iraq is in the middle east, Afghanistan is in central asia. Also while NATO was a massive part of it there are actually quite a few non NATO countries involved like Armenia, who I wish was part of NATO hell I wish we had them instead of Turkey.

Terms have meanings Iraq may be closely aligned in many folks psyche with the rest of the eras clusterfucks, but well this aint a Laos and Cambodia during the Vietnam war situation. The overlap between the operations was seperated by pure distance alone. Its closer to say WW1 germany where they were kicking ass and taking names in the east meanwhile fuck all is happening in the west.

Yes NATO was part of a good chunk of the Global War on Terror but NATO had nearly fuck all to do with Iraq which wasnt even part of that greater clusterfuck until after Iraq decided to cosplay the Balkans and implode. And by that point it was firmly a regional and UK-America clusterfuck.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
