As US allies reel from Donald Trump’s weekend comments encouraging Russia to attack European allies if they don’t meet NATO budget contribution goals, multiple former Trump advisers warn in my upcoming book that the former president will seek to formally withdraw the US from the NATO alliance if he wins a second term.
The United States has maintained longstanding support to NATO. Most recently, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024, enacted on December 22, 2023, prohibits the President from unilaterally withdrawing from NATO without approval of a two-third Senate super-majority or an act of Congress.[71] This bill was a response to Donald Trump’s repeated expressions of interest in withdrawing from the organization.[72][73]
That link also claims the Greens want out of NATO, so I guess they see eye-to-eye with Trump on that one? Honestly, it makes me less likely to support the Greens now that I know that.
I don’t know about other European countries, but Germany’s greens have kept a relatively tidy ship compared to other parties.
Which is why Russia is puppeteering Germany’s far-right to view them as a kind of combined enemy, you often hear them use the term “Linksgrunversifft” / “left-green-soiled” towards people who hold the wrong opinions.
Didn’t they push a similar joined term in America 2016? I remember encountering the words “liberal elite” a lot, probably an attempt to redirect the resentment against the uppity conservative establishment towards liberals instead. I guess it worked.
The US Greens are largely subsidized by Republican funders, and Green presidential candidates have been dinner guests of Putin. The US Greens aren’t an independent environmentalist party but are a GOP stalking horse.
I read the link and there are references to greens in several countries. And I suppose I could have assumed you were talking about the US, but I’ve never heard of a Green Party in the US.

The Green Party in the US is just an extension of the Kremlin aimed at peeling votes away from Democrats in key races.
Don’t worry it’s the same in Europe

No it’s not, not at all.

Oh boy, they think Ukraine should also negotiate with Putin under a cease fire: https://www.gp.org/proposal_1155_gpus_calls_for_ceasefire_to_end_ukraine_war
But apparently they advocate pacifist ideas. No real foundation in reality.
Pretty hard for me to see a difference between a pacifist and a tankie
Is this irony? oO

The Greens haven’t been the greens since Nader.
Does that apply just for 2024?
Good question and I do not know. And my searching isn’t coming up with a good answer either.
I believe it’s forever, unless found unconstitutional or congress changes and passes a replacement.
The 2024 part of the Bill name is just so you know which fiscal bill it is.
Edited for typo.
Thanks.
Which greens? The Scottish greens?
Yes. The Scottish Greens. That’s definitely for sure who I was talking about.
Lots of greens around in different countries.
And which country do you think I might have been talking about?
Didn’t know. That’s why I asked.
Well… there’s two possible ways you could have found out for yourself-

Now I’m sorry I asked. Holy crap.
