UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

No it isn't. America has its opinions on things I am sure but NATO does not exist to execute the arbitrary wims of the United States, especially now, but not really ever.
It's a military defence packed, if one nation is attacked the others respond as if they themselves were attacked. In the past the US has definitely abused this in order to get what they want. But in no way does that make them in charge.
You don’t seem to realise, that it’s not about your defense. You are likely to die at the frontlines or due to some nuke, once NATO countries decide go to war, if anything. Its “defense” is for the western imposed capitalist and imperialist world order — which is in crisis right now. Not for you, not for your loved ones, not for your way of life.
Sure? How? On what basis? Vibes?
Why wouldn’t that happen again? What’s different, if the EU abuses it?
You’re naive, sorry. Don’t simp for NATO.
Right because every single war that has happened since the end of the second world war has been a nuclear exchange, oh wait hang on.
If Russia invades a European country NATO or not, Europe is going to war simply for the purposes of self-preservation, so we might as well have it organised.
