weasel words from rutte uncritically printed by reuters. "some countries (and i wont say which ones) did a bad thing (they know what it was)"
So Trump's US asking defensive allies of a defensive pact to participate in an unwarranted aggression against a country the pact has no trouble with?
Even better, that area of the world isn't under the defense pact. When portuguese provinces in India were attacked in a full blown military invasion, NATO didn't step in. At the time those provinces were an integrant part of a NATO country, not a "territory" neither a colony.
Rutte doesn't. The cherry on the ~~pie~~ top is that the Orange wanted members to send ships to Hormuz strait where they'd be sitting ducks.
