To All USians who are angry when Canadians push back at your "just joking" about joining or annexing Canada, or when you say, "Invasion of Canada will never happen" think about this...
Obviously we are not the only country to feel justified with defending ourselves because NATO military chiefs had a closed door security summit in Paris and the US was not invited. Japan and Australia were there.
“There was no representative from the United States, which is the leading member of NATO.
‘This is the moment when Europe must throw its full weight behind Ukraine, and itself,’Macron told the meeting, according to the Élysée”

Yes, countries around the world are forming new alliances and excluding the US.
Thanks for adding the link, I forgot to add mine from the NATO bulletin.
How long before we say the US WAS the leading member of NATO? I think Trump has been clear that the US will not come to the defense of 'some' NATO members.
"There was no representative from the United States, which is the leading member of NATO."
@Greengordon One article I read used the past tense. @adamvs1
@Snowshadow @Greengordon
I just wanted to make sure folks got your receipts. To be honest, it is shocking that NATO felt it should hold a major summit without the US. I would not have believed that would happen, a year ago.
It is not the norm but I didn't find it shocking, I was surprised it took this long to shut the door on the US.
@adamvs1 @Snowshadow @Greengordon Yes, it is also shocking to learn that Marco Rubio had to say "I can assure you this, we will not be providing military aid to the Russians." That's how much we trust them worldwide :/
@adamvs1 @Snowshadow @Greengordon I don't think NATO held the meeting. They are just saying the countries there included NATO and European countries, and some others. It wasn't a NATO event.
@Susibryant @Snowshadow @Greengordon Strictly speaking it wasn’t a NATO meeting, as it had non-NATO allies attending. But when every member of a club is invited, save “That Guy”, you gotta think something is up.
@adamvs1 My thoughts exactly.
@adamvs1 @Snowshadow @Greengordon I completly agree, it’s saying a lot, such as that they don’t trust us.
I was just responding that NATO hadn’t held the summit, because someone above found it shocking.
@Greengordon @adamvs1 @Snowshadow
"There was no representative from the United States, which is the *leaving member of NATO."
@franebleu
Good one. : ) Indeed it is! Trump is well on that path. @Greengordon @adamvs1
@adamvs1 @Snowshadow Europe is going to have to step up to defend itself from both Russia and a deranged USA, which puts them in a similar security position as the German Empire before WWI. It's incumbent on the decent folk in the US to prevent the madness if possible as the consequences will be catastrophic, Europe is a nuclear power too, is invading Canada worth trading NYC, Chicago, LA, etc.
@raven667 Yewsterday France offered their nukes to another country. Poland is thinking aoubt implementing the draft and they aer moving troops nearer their borders...that is only tow point.
Meanwhile USians sit in front of their TVs munching Doritos completely
oblivious or unconcerned about the global chaos. @adamvs1
@raven667 @adamvs1 @Snowshadow EU is working on It. We are preparing and we are in 1939 again. So we are serious about It. Nie wieder!!!
@Snowshadow Well Yes we lived It before, but i am also praying for Canada. He wants you guys. Just the question is: is he that stupid not understanding tariffs or does hé have a Black agenda? Vote for the right person today
