“In a major setback to a US-led maritime task force in the Red Sea to protect passage of Israeli-owned and Israel-bound merchant vessels against Yemen's military operation, France, Spain and Italy have officially withdrawn from the alliance.
The three nations have explicitly stated their commitment to operating exclusively under the command of international bodies such as the United Nations, NATO or the European Union, choosing not to align with the United States.“

Has the US military lost its status in the global community?

France, Spain, and Italy all refuse to let the US command their ships.

Why would 3 allies tell the US to pound sand?

The actions taken by the Bai-Dung administration has become a mockery within the Foreign Policy world.
This president and his Blinken, Austin administration has lost all veritas. They have failed to respond precisely and directly to the attacks by Iran and it's proxies.

And yet cult fucks claim this is not happening.

Even in the face of these cold hard facts….they claim it is not true.
 
Our long time allies are giving us the finger.

The Biden admin is the worst since Woodrow Wilson….easily.

Biden makes Carter look like Lincoln.

Well, when French, Spanish, and Italian shipping is attacked, our Carrier Group Commander can just sit back and watch them sink and not lift a single finger to protect them.

They have naval assets, right?

Are you claiming these nations made the wrong choice? Why?

Good point

Why would I claim they made the wrong choice?

I pointed out that when an ally betrays you, you are not obligated to defend them.

They are sovereign nations and can make whatever choices they want.

We are under no obligation to support them in their choices.
 
Maybe France, Spain and Italy do not want freaks like this asshole having anything to do with their military.

You claimed the US navy will watch NATO allies get attacked and do nothing. That is certainly an implication these countries made a bad choice.

What should they do? Who should be in charge of those militaries?

Nobody cares what France does. Their only major industry is making White Flags, their women are born with their legs spread and their men are only good for moving target practice for Germans every generation or so.

The Italians aren't much better. All they ever do is sit around eating pasta, drinking cheap wine and putting feathers on their helmets then, when things get tough, they change sides.

The Spanish are considering building a new Armada. This time with Glass Bottoms. So they can see the last one they built.

So...... Who gives a shit what those losers do??

Maybe with a draft. I would rather not kill off the US males from Gen Z to feed the Military Industrial Complex.

It already happened to Ukraine.

It was agreed that the US would be the lead. They decided they didn't want to follow our lead.

That IS a poor choice, but hey, that is on them. They are certainly entitled to make it.

Our obligations are to those who are part of our coalition in that area. A shame we many not be able to get around to helping them.

To claim this move is indicative of nothing seems to be a bit naive.

It is less than nothing.

In fact, it is far better for us to go it alone. If something happens, if the shit hits the fan, they will be unreliable Allies anyway. Always have been.

Don't need 'em, don't want 'em
