Hawaii is not covered by the NATO treaty. Some experts say that needs to change. I say, let’s get the other 49 states out.

Sweden became the newest member of NATO earlier this month, joining 31 nations in the security alliance, including the United States. Well, make that 49 of the 50 United States.

Because in a quirk of geography and history, Hawaii is not technically covered by the NATO pact.

Independence. Restore the monarchy. Get rid of 2 senators. Do the same for Puerto Rico before the rats give it statehood. Be proactive like the democrats.

VP Tulsi should lead the charge.

VP Tulsi! Pence in a skirt.

“After doing my due diligence in reviewing the 658-page impeachment report, I came to the conclusion that I could not in good conscience vote either yes or no,” Gabbard, who declined to talk with reporters following her votes, said in a statement soon afterward.

“. . . Article 6 says. It also says any island territories must be in the North Atlantic, north of the Tropic of Cancer.”

Hawaii is not a U.S. territory but a U.S. state.

Are you saying that Hawaii is not in the Atlantic?

Then explain how the Germans managed to attack Pearl Harbor?

That is a distinction with a critical difference Massie's argument ignores. Hawaii is fully part of the US, not a territory.

And I doubt there is a government hostile to the United States willing to put this theory to the test.

“And I doubt there is a government hostile to the United States willing to put this theory to the test.”

Indeed, I believe there’s no island chain more militarily prepared than our 50th state.

I don't think this is Massie's opinion, it's just some fear-mongering BS that the media (domestic and UK, so far) have stirred up in the past few days. Massie is parroting a portion of it, the more complete version is that "Putin could attack America's 'stronghold in the Pacific' and not be confronted by the entirety of NATO, because, wrong ocean".

Pretty much the usual from the idiot cheerleaders of the apocalypse.

Right on. The call should be “Undo the injustices of 1893 and 1898”. Then a referendum where only native Hawaiians can vote.

“Hawaii is not a U.S. territory but a U.S. state.”

Not when NATO was founded.

I doubt it. After 2 centuries a free Hawaii wouldn’t allow any outside influence. No doubt the place would go downhill with a leftist government. Ever figure out why western tourists in Asia feel so safe?

It’s a 5 hour plane ride to the west coast. Almost as wide as the Atlantic.

Sitting in Kentucky isn’t either. Does that mean I’m out of the BS too?
