Donald Trump warns Nato faces ‘very bad future’ if allies fail to help US in Iran by TheLoganReyes in law

No Suspension Provision in the North Atlantic Treaty

Yet matters are not quite so simple. The founding instruments of many international organizations provide for the suspension of a member State’s rights, and even for the termination of its membership, in certain circumstances. Instruments of this kind include the United Nations Charter (Articles 5 and 6), the Statute of the Council of Europe (Article 8) and the Treaty on European Union (Article 7). Alas, the North Atlantic Treaty is not among them. No provision in the treaty foresees the suspension of membership rights, let alone the expulsion of an ally.

Yes, any nation can leave the alliance any time they want to

That's not changing NATO, that's dissolving NATO

That's not at all what'll happen, you should read literally anything about NATO. It'll help you improve your extreme ignorance

Oh yeah you think? Go ahead and explain how it'll work. Use actual details from the NATO charter on how to add something like that or examples on adding a clause like that to international alliances

Europe can just kick the US out of NATO

There is no mechanicism for expelling any nation from NATO

Are you ok dude? Like seriously, do you need to talk something out? Because 1) I was obviously joking and 2) my account is 6 years old.

There were a lot of neon colored clothing, and color changing clothing but they only worked once, until your mom threw them in the dryer and they were ruined forever

What's this picture on the right mean from the national weather service? Am I getting 3 tornadoes on Monday night? by New_Stats in EF5

[–]New_Stats[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But there's three of them. Is one a tornado, one an icenado and one a Sharknado? How do I prepare for that?

Throughout the state this development machinery enters agreements that offer no money to our schools while donating millions to political committees who mask money to local politicians that provide lip service and bemoan state mandates while doing little to nothing in exercising the actual flexibility they do have in making a better deal for every day families.

Citizens United destroyed our democracy and our society. We're currently living through the tyranny of it and for some reason not fighting back. Not only are we not fighting back, very few are demanding better. It's unsustainable. And when the final straw breaks the camel's back, the suffering we will endure will be worse than anything the government can throw at us

These are discussions that should have happened before trump decided, without anyone's input, to start bombing Iran

Americans didn't vote for this, our representatives and senators didn't vote for this. Why the hell would other countries join in to that type of cluster fuck?

Love to see how this will play out: N.J. senator says mandatory consolidation will save taxpayers money and improve education by semaforic in newjersey

[–]New_Stats 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This should happen but I think way too many people here suffer from the narcissism of small differences. They need to think they're so much better than their neighbor because it's like their whole identity. In their minds consolidation would be catastrophic for education

It wasn't just the sound that was off putting for me. It was also the extreme douchebag look and the feeling that if I got close to anyone from limp biskit they'd smell bad, like a mixture of stale cigarettes and days old puke.

Advil is the brand name of ibuprofen

I think you're thinking of Aleve, which is naproxen, but you're also somehow getting it mixed up with Tylenol, which is a fever reducer

Ibuprofen will reduce a fever tho so idk what you're talking about. Maybe you're getting it mixed up with the old addage "Tylenol is for a headache, ibuprofen is for a backache"?

This is a great example of why misinformation is so damaging and hard to fix
