    Literally the headline

    NATO’s Rutte praises US, Israeli military action against Iran but says alliance won’t be involved

    So at no point did NATO ever approve of this war, what random individuals may say is irrelevant.

      You think praising is not a sign of approval? Nato despite not participating directly in the offense. It still give logistical support, inteligence and surveillance. Even participating in “defensive operation” should not be provides in an illegal war

          If it would’ve been any other weak country with no danger to their bootlicker forces they would’ve already been bombing schools from day 1.
          Iran made them think twice.

          He is the goddamn secretary general of Nato, Nato members did not condemn his statement . They voted for this fool to be in the position. Nato talks about opening the straight of Hormoz yet they are not negotiating with Iran and are not putting pressure on them . They are involved in non combatant support to the war

            I don’t even know what you think your point is. The reason nobody else can intervene here even if they want to is that Trump hasn’t given other countries any political cover. Didn’t consult anyone, and has expressed interest in leaving once the straight is open which leaves allies holding the bag. Even those who want to bomb Iran can’t touch this because it’s political suicide.

              My point is them not joining directly the war do not mean they didn’t welcome it
