Putin is the best recruiter for NATO. Viva Nato!

[vegtheman]

Will like to thank the great ambassador Pootin for recruiting more countries for us.

[tuxie]

They should change the name to Pacific Oceanic Trans-Atlantic Treaty Organization, or POTATO.

[Thiago-VidalAquino]

NATO is a peacefull alliance Just as The war can be called a special operation. I choose to stand aside with the one that is not likely to kill me. Viva NATO

[adineatha]

Stop saying Indo-Pacific. It's Asia Pacific.

[coloredplanetantinazifreak]

Hey NATO stay in Atlantic... Pacific is NOT EUROPE

[rishabhchaudhary]

TO ALL THOSE WHO ARE ASKING *Why a nato summit on indo pacific without India*
It's better that we don't take part in any NATO summit because NATOs existance, NATO's definition in *ANTI-RUSSIA*

[juyoung]

It is a wrong title. It is Asia-Pacific partners (not Indo-Pacific) which are called AP4 of NATO mainly focused on russia.

[frommars]

All of them are very wellcomed! I will consider buying even more Japanese and South Korean high quality products from now on, instead of crappy Chinese ones.

[DavidGatto]

Nice to see all hands on deck. We can no longer turn a blind eye to oppression.

[robinindam]

This is the best one for Asia Pacific region

[aleccap]

[joshuaknight]

These countries are there because uk u.s. got them to come I know u.s. got australia japan south korea to go to the summit

[tanya]

Where is india? It's name is indo- Pacific and they didn't include india.

[johnliew]

It reminds me of those old "3 stooges" show. I think 5 is definitely better.

[supremesoftware]

Why call it NATO? Why not call it International Lapdogs of America?

Whenever I see NATO news I think of Putin and Screeching Weasel's song: cool club.
🎶
There's a real cool club on the other side of town
Where the real cool kids go to sit around and talk bad
About the other kids
Yeah, it's a real cool club and you're not part of it
There's Millie, Pickles and Pattycakes too
And Cubby's making mean jokes about you
Haha, ya little twit!
Yeah, it's a real cool club and you're not part of it
They're a real cool bunch of die fledermausketeers
And they'll laugh at the tough skins, your mum got you from sears, you dork
They'll never let you in
'Cause it's a real cool club
And you're not part of it
You're fat and ugly and an imbecile too
And that's why they draw funny pictures of you And talk bad
About all the kids
'Cause it's a real cool club and you're not a part of it
Yeah, it's a real cool club and you'll never be a part of it
Yeah, it's a real cool club and you're not part of it
Yeah, it's a real cool club and you'll never be a part of it
