Christ man, the US is not the key factor in the title except for people who read extremely poorly. Anyone with basic reading comprehension can tell the subject of the headline is the professor. As a lot of people are telling you.

Nato cannot 'revisit' anyone's membership status. There's no mechanism for booting countries from the alliance. There's some really tenuous legal reasoning the other states could unanimously declare one of the member states in material breach of the treaty and repudiate it, but there's a) zero precedent for it and b) really unlikely to ever get unanimous consent from everyone as quite a few countries would be concerned it could be used on them in the future.
To get turkiye out of NATO the us and it's main allies would likely have to make life so uncomfortable for them that they withdraw themselves. Like when you wanna break up with your partner and just act like an ass till they break up with you.

Doubt A-10s would be much use in Ukraine. The skies are contested heavily.

Most countries that produce state of the art arms when you buy modern weapons systems require you to ask permission before you resell them. For security concerns, protection of tech etc etc. Hell the US was making a fuss about turkiye even buying SAM systems from Russia and booted them from the F-35 program for that, and is actually thinking about blocking even f-16 sales to turkiye.

I went to college in the east coast. Visiting friends at other schools all up and down the east coast. I've never seen a gated campus, like the whole campus.

I have no idea of their quality but they joined 10 months ago and presumably have to start at the bottom of the football pyramid and win promotion. They can't just get inserted into a higher league.

They don't have feathers on their heads so their heads stay cleaner when eating.

For drinking alcohol it says it right in the article. Also most of their national team players play abroad in europe and would be back at their clubs as the European season has resumed.

I mean honestly they're really not fine. But no one's figured out a workable way to get journalists paid other than ads for a while.

That's what happens when people are even less willing to pay for subscriptions than they are to look at ads.

Yeah I didnt know what the mindset in Iran was so I didn't want to assume and just stuck to the general claim that I was sure of, but I suspected it would be that way.

Your overall statement aside 'Infidels' isn't just "anybody they're against", it means unbelievers. if anything these protesters would be apostates if they want to go down that route.

Initially, only because they were using the language of the western allies to leverage them into not acting. All the ones you cited were before any of the allies joined the war. Beyond those initial gains it was their actual motivation of pure conquest, Barbarossa and onward they dropped all pretense.
Japan kept up their Asian co prosperity sphere messaging throughout.

Being treated as liberators wasn't used as a 'justification' because the allied side didn't need a justification, they were fighting a defensive war to begin with. It was the Japanese who actually used the liberators line saying they were throwing out the western colonizers to create an Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere. The Nazis, of course, used next to no justification. Their whole ethos was based on having the will to take what you want.

Reply to comment by hawkwings in Gunmen attack major Shiite holy site in Iran, killing 15 by marketrent
Israel and SA were way more than ok with Soleimani being killed and not because he was just a shiite. he was one of the most critical Iranian leaders in terms of organizing their actions beyond Iran's borders and Iran is both Israel and SA's number one regional rival. He was widely cited before his death as Iran's architect of its regional power
SA and Israel considered assassinating him way before the US did: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/11/world/middleeast/saudi-iran-assassinations-mohammed-bin-salman.html

Reply to comment by vengefulspirit99 in Poland chooses US to build its first nuclear power plant by Vegeta9001
Westinghouse basically helped the Marcos family steal a fucktin of money building a 'nuclear power plant' in the Philippines in the 80s that never ever came close to being operational but still cost a fucktin if money.
From an academic article in 1994 ten years after the plant was rsted as unsafe without ever operating:
> The construction of the Philippine's first nuclear power plant by Westinghouse has come to symbolize the corruption and cronyism of the Marcos' years. The plant has created so much controversy that it has yet to operate, in a country that desperately needs electrical power.
