UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

So even if the US invades Greenland, you want the US to stay in NATO? Also surely Europe should invest in increasing its independence from the US, given that the US is unreliable.
Some Americans might support it, but I don't think it would happen. All the other NATO countries would not want to get into a conflict with the US.
If the USA invades a NATO member then, in an ideal world, first NATO will invade the USA and hold those responsible accountable, then allow the USA to reorganize its leadership and start paying reparations. During this process, if another nation such as Russia or China attacks a NATO member, then the USA will have the responsibility to wage war on that person as well.
The USA's defence spending dwarfs any other country on earth. NATO instantly loses a third of its capabilities the moment the USA withdraws, it can never be allowed.
Countries choosing not to fight when NATO articles are filed would defeat the purpose of NATO and exclude their nation from any future defence, on top of just being morally wrong.
