    Ah yes, the power to… defend against attacks from other nations. Such evil.

    For anyone who isn’t aware, there are no provisions in the NATO charter for cooperative offensive actions. None. NATO is not a military alliance, it is a defensive pact only.

      I’m mostly pro NATO but that is litteraly the worst single argument possible anyone ever made. Here’s a one word answers that totally shred it’s credibility: Lybia.

      It’s only for defense until we decide to invade a country… but anyway, the real strength of NATO as a weapon is political influence. It allows the US to impose their security objectives to all the other members, and currently their main competitor is China and that was transcribed into NATO’s official strategy in 2022 with the stated objective to expend into the Indian and Pacific ocean specifically to counter them.

      Can’t really expect them to like it.

      I mean, that’s a kinda-lovable looking Darth Vader.

      Here’s a Danish Nazi poster that has America as a four-armed giant. Two of the arms are black, and one is carrying a noose. There’s a Klu Klux Klan hood on his head. One hand is wielding a record via which America spreads culture. Another a bag of money with a Jewish guy hanging on the back. The upper torso is a cage with two black people dancing the jitterbug in it. One arm, in a prison sleeve and with a dangling manacle, is carrying a Thompson submachine gun single-handed. One arm is playing a drum, which makes up the lower torso. There’s a beauty pagent leg, and the other is a big industrial tube dropping a bomb, presumably representing American industrial munitions output. Despite pre-dating NCD by about seventy years, it’s got aircraft wings and two scantily-clad women, one blowing a trumpet and the other waving an American flag, resting on the shoulders. And a Jewish crotch-flap.

      Italy had a propaganda poster with a kilometer-high skeletal Statue of Liberty.

    The empire was always a depiction of the USA.
