backers of the alliance are taking comfort in a year-old U.S. law that says he can’t withdraw unless Congress approves.
Legal experts warn that Trump could try to sidestep Congress’s NATO guardrail, citing presidential authority over foreign policy — an approach he used before to bypass congressional restrictions on treaty withdrawal.
Either way sounds easy, isn’t it? He has Congress.
The law doesn’t matter. These dongs are going to do whatever they want, and dare the DoJ that they control to do anything about it.
Even if DoJ tries to do something about it, it still doesn’t matter. Delay, delay, delay; do more crimes; thumb nose at the world.
It’s over. Prepare to resist.
With Putin running free of the defense of Europe the US can provide, the conflicts will be wider and more bloody. Tough to turn, should we ever decide to do so.
NATO needs to be disolved
The instance block that I have against lemmy.ml should work on comments too, imho.
Sure, that law isn’t airtight. Really, though, what’s a law but a piece of paper when there’s a SCOTUS decision effectively making POTUS king and Congress unwilling to stop him. At this point, are even so-called airtight laws safe from transgression? I think it’s doubtful.
Yup, the fact that the court cases against him for things that have been fully confirmed by the law to be factual and grounded in reality are just going away because the president can’t be touched more or less confirms it.
The law can be fully broken whenever there’s enough nationalist energy going against it. And the US has voted to fully give in to the high of that nationalism.
