Buckle up, people! I'm caffeinated & about to go on a mornin' rant!
GQPers are now pushing a false narrative that Zelensky is calling for Article 5. 🤦♀️ They're doing it with a short clip (below) of a larger conversation w/ the true intent of his words
🧵
See, Ukraine is not only defending Ukraine. Ukraine is defending surrounding territories, as well. If Ukraine loses this war, Russia WILL attack surrounding territories next. NATO territories.
Once that happens, Article 5 can (and will) be invoked, as it should.
🧵⬇️
That, would put our Soldiers on the ground.
And it's mind-boggling to me, all the ignorance I see from people saying "F Ukraine" or "F Nato". It's also another reminder of the importance of teaching REAL History. Repubs either forget, never learned, or ignore this FACT:🧵
NATO Article 5, written over seventy years ago with the threat of a Soviet invasion of Western Europe, has been formally invoked just once.
When, you ask?
In support of the US following the 9/11 terrorist attack.
NATO is with us & WE are with NATO #StandWithUkraine
Rant over🎤
