No but he can run a limited special operation for 150 days without congressional approval. Putting troops on the ground would put it legally questionable but scale hasn’t been tested yet.
What’s this “2/3 of Congress” punchline that I keep hearing? Seems like you can put anything on the books and then do whatever you want as long as you have enough silent enablers.

I hope at some point every country just stops all trade with US until Trump is out of office.

That would be fucking hilarious, he’d die of apoplexy
Along with all intelligence sharing etc. I don’t think the fanta fuhrer reaslises the consequense of his mouth. Probably thinks he can withdraw from NATO but keep all the perks.
It’s not that he doesn’t realize, it’s that he’s senile and genuinely a bad person, and couldn’t care less about the consequences, as long as the noise keeps Epstein out of the news. That’s why I urge everybody to call this the Epstein war.

fanta was actually invented in germany during WW2 because coca cola didn’t manage to sell cola syrup to germany, so the german coca cola branch had to innovate to sell something to stay afloat

He is being guided to by those close to him.
A) Russia
B) Israel
Let’s not pretend a lot of Russian Jews didn’t end up in Israel. There is a lot of overlap for Epstein’s kompromat operation to leverage Trumps 180 of America.

Sorry if I’m misinterpreting you, but I don’t think Trump is a 180 of America. This is all because we didn’t finish the job of Reconstruction - the slaver leaders remained, their stolen wealth remained, and their descendants voted for Trump.
If things ever get better, then we should reconsider slave reparations from what’s left of those stolen estates.

Let him. Europe could use this to get a peace deal with Putin regarding Ukraine. Tell Putin that as part of a peace deal with Ukraine, US military equipment and personnel would be removed from Europe.
Yeah, we gotta stop this kind of reactionary nonsense. I think the US has shown exactly what you do to sort out your problems with a nation.
It doesn’t take going to war to stop the idiots trying to start one.

Does NATO have any rules that members have to buy from NATO members? If so, any of the arms manufacturers would drone strike him themselves rather than risk it.

I’m pretty sure it’s not a requirement (e.g. Poland buying tanks from South Korea), but it is of course strongly incenitivised and NATO members (mainly usa) undoubtedly put pressure on other members to buy internally. The pressure will fall away and the incentives will flip around to not buying from the usa

Is your stupid war making you look like a complete idiot? Try blaming others! 4/5 ‘doctors’ say revolutionary practice of throwing anyone and everyone under the bus is effective way to shift blame.

Twump says twat?
Except of course he can’t. Takes 2/3 of Congress.
Unfortunately while technically correct this has been shown time and time again he doesn’t care.
He will stop making payments until he dies
Or 5/9 of the Supreme Court.
He can’t declare war without Congress approval yet here we are…
No but he can run a limited special operation for 150 days without congressional approval. Putting troops on the ground would put it legally questionable but scale hasn’t been tested yet.
Hasn’t been tested? Wow! The cognitive dissonance never disappoints.
It sometimes feels like you deserve the pedo in chief.
The land of checks of balances but checks note with in-built excuses for every diversion to do whatever the fuck you want.
Response is correct, but kinda toxic.

Do it … and lose 85% of the overseas bases, including spy-, radar- and sonar stations…

No he doesn’t
Someone told him that the US spends $980bn on NATO and he thinks he can get a better deal (making other countries do his dirty work for free)

Just a completely worthless hateful evil sack of shit. I wish him the absolute worst.
Do it would be another accidentally good thing from him rare but it happens.
I hate the thought, but Europe must prepare for war with the US. Greenland was a warning.

what would be the point of doing this
Appease his handler, Putin?
He can’t. Even though Russia really wants him to.
I believe him.
He will sign a special order. Or whatever its called. Order the closure/evacuation of all European nato bases.
Then at some point at the end of the year a judge will say it was illegal and to put it back.
The cost of this will be astronomical. Russia sits back and laughs.
I’m considering his execution and that’s also not going to happen.
