As for NATO, it was created because European countries had fought each other periodically for a thousand years, and the hope was an entity that brought nations together, and promoted trade, might help keep the peace. It also was meant to stand up to what was a growing threat from the Soviet Union.

The USSR no longer exists, which renders NATO obsolete.

Stop. You made a mistake thats it. Its ok we all make mistakes from time to time

@scottiejohn Didn't make a mistake. Euros are a currency, not a union. The European Union (EU) is a bloc of 27 countries.

NATO has 32 membersm, of which 23 are also part of the EU, not the Euro.

You want any drawings or images to make it easier for you to comprehend?

So you dont understand either. Same remark goes to you. Great job learning English as a second language but you dont understand the reference made.

Why not have @Yellowtail explain it to you so you dont dig a hole like the other poster did.

This is getting ridiculous.

I asked the question wrt what country "Euros" was!

Not all countries in Europe use the Euro (21 out out of 27 do) and Euro is not a military alliance, only a currency!

WRT to the EEC, which uses the Euro in some countries, the secret is in the title; The European Economic Community (EEC)!

It's slang for the Europeans.

Some people use the term "Euro" as slang to refer to Europeans. Does this bother you?

English nuances can be difficult for non native speakers. I did try to give concession for that.

A person who does not understand the difference between GDP and GDP per capita should not comment on others not knowing what they are talking about.

Or maybe someone is being overly pedantic.

So you still don't get it why GDP per capita makes more sense than just saying GDP estimated increase?

No surprise there.

Maybe try to comprehend this.

100% of 1 is less than 40% of 3.

You seem quite upset about this topic. Are you, by any chance, a Euro?

You seem to be quite upset that non- MAGA members correct you.

100% of 1 is less than 40% of 3.

Indeed, the United States has a higher GDP per capita compared to the Eurozone.

As of 2025, the U.S. GDP per capita is nearly double that of the European Union when measured in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms—$89,600 for the U.S. versus $43,500 for the EU average.

Is this the point you want to make?

I will refer to you as a Euro, and I will use the term "Euros" to describe the currency.

What remains unprecedented is the degree to which allied world leaders are now privately discussing concerns about the president's psychological state.

Here is another person who is claiming Trump has dementia.

Ilhan Omar.

Is it because Trump really has cognitive decline or because she has committed fraud and is starting to get nervous that she will be imprisoned?

Calling someone else crazy is the oldest trick in the book.

Just open your eyes and mind, and you will have your answer.

But since you are a MAGA supporter, you will remain blind until it hits you in the face.

I will have to save this message for next time you get called out, and you will deny, of being a MAGA member.

According to you, anyone who has a position different from yours is MAGA.

In this case, I do not find the claim as reported credible. I suspect that it is disinformation.

I don't base my comments on opinions, but rather the post history of those people, and that includes YOU.

I'm sure others on this forum can confirm that.

When I was living on the Canadian border years ago, we did call them Loonies. Play on words so to speak
