You wouldn't think one of Trump's MENSA goons would f*ck up their interpretation of NATO's Article Five, but HERE WE ARE [View all]

AS WE ALL KNOW, Iran did not INITIATE THIS by ATTACKING THE U.S.

THEY WERE ATTACKED, and RESPONDED, which does NOT obligate NATO to rush to Grampy's aid.

TRUMP WAS THE INITIAL AGGRESSOR. Amazing how the White House is attempting to white-wash that and shame our allies.


One of Donald Trump’s confidants has launched into a scathing tirade against NATO after allies refused to join the president’s war in Iran.

“These motherf--kers always talk about Article Five, Article Five, Article Five, Article Five, Article Five,” the person, described as “a Trump ally close to the White House,” told Politico Wednesday, referring to provisions of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization that treat an attack on one member as an attack on all.

“OK, well, Iran has been blowing up our soldiers and ripping their wings off for, you know, half a century,” they continued in a fury. “We finally responded, and now they’re f--king going after all our major non-NATO allies and the United States.”

The aide was not done. “You guys are like, not only saying we’re not going to help, you’re closing your airspace to us,” they raged. “Really?”
