#expelling — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #expelling, aggregated by home.social.

  1. There is no clear provision in the #Nato treaty for #expelling a country,
    though its preamble does commit the US and other allies
    “to live in peace with all peoples and all governments” and
    “to safeguard the freedom, common heritage and civilisation of their peoples”
    – wording once intended to be used against a member that became communist during the cold war.

    Nevertheless, one alliance member turning on another -- even over an Arctic territory with a population of less than 60,000,
    would undermine the credibility of the 76-year-old military alliance, intended to ensure peace and mutual protection across Europe and the North Atlantic.

    Even the latest round of threats, some argue, has caused enough damage at a time when the Russian menace has never felt more real,
    even if Moscow is currently heavily embroiled in Ukraine.

    “If any European states harbour any illusions they can rely on US security guarantees,
    then this is the wake-up call
    we are not returning to that world,” Messmer says.

  2. Republican leaders are now adopting increasingly #autocratic measures, using the #police #powers of government to impose #moralized #regulations, turning #private #citizens into #enforcement #officers and #expelling defiant elected #Democrats just as county Republican parties, particularly in Western states, are electing #militia #members, #Christian #nationalists and #QAnon #believers to key posts.

    Here’s one example. Last November, the Republican Party of Clackamas County in Oregon chose a new vice chairman, Daniel Tooze, a #Proud #Boy from Oregon City, and Rick Riley, the head of the county chapter of #Take #Back #America, which denies the results of the 2020 presidential election, as chairman.
    Oregon Public Broadcasting reported that in central Oregon’s Deschutes County, the local Republican Party chose Scott Stuart, “a member of the county chapter of #People’s #Rights, a nationwide network of #militia groups and #anti-#government activists founded by conservative firebrand #Ammon #Bundy.”
