Nato members have pledged their support for an “irreversible path” to future membership for Ukraine, as well as more aid.

While a formal timeline for it to join the military alliance was not agreed at a summit in Washington DC, the military alliance’s 32 members said they had “unwavering” support for Ukraine’s war effort.

Nato has also announced further integration with Ukraine’s military and members have committed €40bn ($43.3bn, £33.7bn) in aid in the next year, including F-16 fighter jets and air defence support.

The bloc’s Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said: “Support to Ukraine is not charity - it is in our own security interest.”

      So the post war clusterfuck, Tonga of all countries is listed. Still no direct Nato involvement, France is still staying the hell away. But still mos tof the list is weird, id need to look at what half those countries were doing in Iraq mostly cause what the fuck was Tonga doing. But yeah the list as a whole reads more as one of countries in the Global war on terror.

      Unless you can give me direct evidence of NATO command pissing around in Iraq post invasion for anything other than logistics because dear fuck that must have been a nightmare. Ill continue to point out that NATO wasnt involved as a combatant.

      I just looked it up and the closest thing I can find is a training mission, but that was for training local Iraqi forces for the interim government. Which is its own thing. Also 8t seems like the mission was restarted, neet.

      Also I must reiterate that members of an alliance being involved doesnt mean that the alliance as a whole is involved. Hell amongst that list half of the current NATO members werent even in NATO in 03. With Romania and Bulgaria not joining till 04, the Baltic nations till 04, Albania till 09, and Macedonia till 2020.

      Hell looking at the list again ive noticed that quite a few of the countries at the time hadn’t been in conflict for awhile. So they may have been using fighting al-Qaeda as an excuse for live target exercises. Congrats dude you gave convinced me that Iraq was basically civil war era Spain, where in everyone tested their toys there cause it was a clusterfuck.

          And Somalia. I aint moving the goalpost, my point has been pretty much the same. NATO command and personnel was not involved in Iraq, maybe every other instance at the time but not Iraq. Members of an alliance can take actions outside of the alliance, this has been true for millenia. You just keep bringing up semi-related shit that only factors in on one front of a war.

          Also Libya and Somalia still aint fucking Iraq.
