Article 5 was not invoked on Afghanistan, Article 5 was invoked over a year possibly 2 years prior after 9/11 which was not perpetrated by Afghanistan.

So you’re saying NATO was mobilized without Article 5 even though NATO members voluntarily enterred Afghanistan? You seem to not understand what NATO is, it is a mutual defense pact that forces its members to participate in a war when one member is attacked, and that has never happened.
You have challenged the assertion that protests in any way affect the outcome of elections or what choices politicians make.
Yes but neither Iraq or Afghanistan were responsible for those attacks so NATO has never been mobilized. The US invasion of Iraq, as you already stated before, was not agreed upon by several NATO members including France.
NATO Mission Iraq (NMI) is currently lead by France.
So does being anti-protest, bootlicker.
Technically NATO has never been mobilized anywhere, but when multiple NATO members go somewhere we call it a NATO operation.
There are literally multiple Lemmy communities promoting youthful pornographic imagery, if not outright child pornography, so mentioning that Reddit had a scandal over the same content which they then proceeded to shutdown definitely isn’t an argument in Lemmy’s favor.
We also have militant extremist communities and advocacies for foreign dictatorships here, like all of Hexbear for example.
By that logic no protest has ever had any impact. You sound like a real bootlicker rn.
People opposed the pointless war whose only winners were Exxo n Mobil.
People voted the party who started the war out of power.
The opposition party withdrew from the region.
No parts standardization, replacements, or compatability.
Short lifespan batteries.
Very small chipsets/components have capabilities increase via tech advancement at a faster rate than larger boards.
Actually very similar to larger apple products as well.
Politicians making decisions based on public opinion has a lot of cause and effect relation. By all accounts it would have been easier to maintain a 40k to 100k presence in Iraq than it was to pack everything up and leave.
I find it hard to believe 9 other people as misinformed as you scrolled this far into this thread to upvote your theory that US troops never left Iraq they just died.
NATO is still currently in Iraq, the US 2,500 troops are only a part of the effort to hamper ISIS.
I feel like it could still get damaged or used as evidence in court if you get caught up in a crackdown.

Are you confused about which comment thread you’re in? You said initially that the protests 20 years ago of the Iraq War were impotent and I pointed out that the US Involvment in Iraq sharply declined as a result of those protests, despite anti-NATO religious extremism presence growing in the region for many of the following years.
The number absolutely should not be 0. It’s a nation which actively funds and mobilizes religious extremists who imprison or execute homosexuals and treat women as cattle.
EDIT: in this context Iraq/nation meant the local populace, not the government
In 2007 there were 170,000 troops in Iraq
In 2010 there were 88,000
In 2024 there were 2,500
I genuinenely did not know that WoW was still running, tbh.
The USA went into Afghanistan in 2001, NATO operations officially started in 2003, as per the articles you just linked.
