How many times are you going to post this ridiculous garbage?
I’m not sure if it’s entirely garbage.
We have done things that will cause irreparable damage to the alliance.
We have coerced folks into playing along even inside NATO. Nations like Hungary are NOT on board with us (but you do not hear much about that in our one sided MSM), neither is Serbia (that one is obvious and they are not a full NATO member).
We have literally (most likely us) blown up pipelines on which allies depend: https://seymourhersh.substack.com/p/how-america-took-out-the-nord-stream
We have literally aided in what amount to outright terrorist attacks: https://www.foxnews.com/world/pro-russian-military-blogger-killed-explosion-st-petersburg-reports
I think there really is a possibility for a backlash in the long term. Right now everyone is capitalizing on this, may it be for a quick Finish and Swedish NATO admission (while the iron is hot and support is there), massive arms exports and deals: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-arms-exports-up-11-fiscal-2022-official-says-2023-01-25/ Getting allies to increase their defense spending, expanding missile defense, re-basing newer generations of nuclear weapons in Europe (something which would have been opposed before): https://nypost.com/2022/10/28/us-accelerates-plan-to-send-upgraded-nuclear-weapons-to-europe/
Never let a crisis go to waste, right?
But just like Vietnam, Lebanon, Iraq, eventually public sentiment shifts. They have to get done what they want fast! The public doesn’t have a long attention span, stomach and if they realize it’s costing them personally they go negative real fast. So we need to move fast.
That said, right now we still flying high, and we might for a little while because we don’t have our kids coming home in body bags. We’ve got someone else doing the bleeding and we’re just arming and financing them. So the public will hold on a little longer. But the trend is already there regards public support of this war and there is a reason why US politicians no longer brag and advertise all the money and even weapons they are sending to Ukraine like last year.
The real issue is that some of the things we did will cause for lasting problems after this war is over.
