Source: BBC
Nato says there is no provision for member states to be suspended or expelled from the military alliance after a report said the US could seek to suspend Spain over its Iran war stance.
Reuters quoted a US official who said an internal Pentagon email had suggested measures for the US to punish allies it believed had failed to support its campaign.
The email also suggested reviewing the US position on the UK's claim to the Falklands islands in the south Atlantic, which are also claimed by Argentina.
A Nato official told the BBC that the organisation's founding treaty "does not foresee any provision for suspension of Nato membership, or expulsion".

Trump and his cronies don't bother finding out what reality is - they just imagine what they'd like to do, and assume everyone will let them.

He does not have to be a 'former' President.
We just will not break that programming that says we have to just sit and take all of this, and maybe one day hundreds of years from now someone will denounce his regime.
I am not willing to wait that long. I wish others were as resolute.

(11,339 posts)But, first we have to understand and acknowledge that our current 'unfettered capitalism and worship of the green god' is why we are here in the first place.
It is this system that gave us that tyrant. It is that system that gives us the inequity and bias in our very fabric.
It is a failed system, but the people who profit from it are going to prop it up and let us all die rather than allow it to change.
And, we are letting them.

We never did either.
