If you want to know why NATO nations weren’t involved, it boils down to three reasons:

A) Those in Eastern Europe, especially Poland, Finland and the Baltics, have to focus on Russia. We should not expect them to be involved.

B) We can crack jokes about France, Britain and Belgium being Islamic republics, but effectively they are in this case. Fear of the Muslim vote and of Muslim terrorism is what guides them here.

C) Closely related to (B) is Europe’s pathological and institutional Jew hatred, which is aggravated by the Muslim community but would still be a factor without them due to the left. Leon DeWinter’s famous quote applies here “Europe will never forgive the Jews for the Holocaust”.

Rot. That is what best characterizes Europe now. And that rot is very deep.

This week exposed something Washington has whispered about for years: NATO without American backbone is just a press release factory. When missiles started flying, Brussels issued statements while CENTCOM and Israel actually fought the war. Gulf states intercepted drones, American pilots took the skies, and the alliance that was supposedly built to defend the West suddenly discovered it was “not involved.” That’s not deterrence—that’s institutional decay. President Donald Trump has been saying it for a decade: alliances matter only if they act. If NATO won’t defend its own interests, a new security architecture will emerge around countries actually willing to fight. History doesn’t reward spectators.

NATO is chickenshit. Shovel and bury it.

Maybe these Gulf states would not stand by the Ayatollahs and Mullahs next time.

Honestly, if Iran fires a missile directed at the UK, I hope Israel will just let it carry on.

NATO cannot end too soon . Its military value manifests itself mainly on paper, it proves useless in stopping soft and hard Islamic invasion, if anything it assists it. Its existence is the main reason for ongoing slaughter on Ukraine Russia front and an obstacle to stop it . And NATO costs too much .
