Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

@[email protected] Ah, the whole NATO "America the sword Europe the shield" thingy
Kinda, they don’t really go into NATO except to point out America pays for damn near all of it. They usually tie this into complaints about “Europe being free riders on our defense programs”. They would never respect a European military enough o consider it a shield.
Ukraine shows that the "human" before shield is implied
That’s a good point
