NATO Article 5 has only been invoked once; by the USA after 9/11.
NATO Article 5 and collective defence: Putin probably licking his lips given Trump’s craven alignment with Moscow over the assault on Ukraine. Serious thinking needed by European, Baltic and Scandinavian Allies. #Trump #Putin #NATO #Ukraine
Which position did Trump play? Look how hard they tried to get him off the stage for the traditional lifting of the trophy by the winning team but it’s always “Me! Me! Me!” with him, isn’t it?
🚨BREAKING: Video is going viral showing Trump jumping into the shot with the cup - and REFUSING to leave. Watch how hard the guy tries to get him out of there. This is really pathetic. What an embarrassment to the world.

The Republicans risk losing their majority in the House of Representatives in the mid-term elections but Trump has the answer: blatant gerrymandering, i.e. “the political manipulation of electoral district boundaries to advantage a party, group, or socioeconomic class”.
Check out this from November 2011: For all MAGAs, did you know the word “gullible” isn’t included in any dictionary?

Apart fromthe ludicrous content of this letter, including the sporadic use of capital letters, note the atrocious staff work.

An insidious new aspect of underwater warfare.
How do you attack a NATO country without firing a shot? For the last two years, Russia has been giving a masterclass in the Baltic Sea. The Kremlin utilized ghost ships, anchor-dragging, spy drones. 🧵Here is how the West is starting to fight back.
The US dollar has fallen yet another penny against the pound since its last devaluation earlier this month. It’s now worth £0.73. That’s a reduction of £0.09 since Trump assumed office in January. Is the USA winning yet?
Believe it or not, this is genuine. Just as well I always post using my own name, eh? There is also a proposal for all US citizens to wear trackable smart watches (for health-monitoring purposes). uk.usembassy.gov/visas/
