Why do small rich countries not want to join NATO?

Yes, Norway, Denmark, Holland and Luxembourg are NATO members and Iceland (no military) is too. But Luxembourg is a small city and Denmark and Norway have fewer than 5 million people.

Meanwhile, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Finland and Ireland all don't want anything to do with NATO.

How come? How come half of the rich countries of Europe hate NATO? Are they rich because they are not in NATO... or are they not in NATO because they are rich?

Pretty simple. If America invades some third world shithole and you're a NATO member, enjoy sending your military over and having your soldiers die, even if the war has absolutely nothing to do with you.

They're just intelligent enough to realise that NATO is a tool for the US and nothing else

Is this why Israel is not in NATO?

Switzerland is eternally neutral and Finland doesn't want to antagonize Russia.

>Switzerland is eternally neutral and Finland doesn't want to antagonize Russia.
What about IReland, Austria and Sweden? Why can they be outside of NATO and we cannot?

For the same reason there is so much efford to push migrants there.

They not scared enough
but they will be scared

>For the same reason there is so much efford to push migrants there.
Ireland and Finland get migrants?

you are an occupied state, with US military bases on your land.
>t. Ramstein

this tbqh. 60+ years of diplomacy and trade relations would get flushed down the shitter if we'd join NATO.
Also because if a war broke out between NATO and Russia, along with the Baltics Finland would be the first place to get invaded and our country would be turned into a warzone and eventually a wasted borderland, just like it was under Swedish rule 200+ years ago

>Holland
It's called the Netherlands, pleb

We're neutral, you realise what that means?

It's more like, there's no point joining NATO because America will undoubtedly support them regardless. It's an unfair one way relationship. It's pretty typical of faggy European countries. "America stop killing muslims in the middle East!1!!" "America please help us Russia is invading"
"America is a shithole and the people are all fat" "OMG America why won't you help us?? We're your allies!!"
Or
>Europe implements a policy
>America does the same
"Omg America you racists"
Or another classic
>America implements civil rights policy of some sort
>"OMG America you're so racist and sexist and homophobic if you're only doing that now!"
>Europe implements policy 5 years later

>Meanwhile, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Finland and Ireland all don't want anything to do with NATO.
Finland doesn't want to join NATO because it wouldn't do us any good. Independent we may not be able to beat Russia, but we can make invasion cost way more than what it is worth

Agreed NATO is a one-sided agreement--EU countries do next to nothing and the US taxpayers provide overwhelming amounts of money for bases, troops, and military equipment.

NATO saved you from communist takeover of your country.

because pissing money away on the military is a bad idea

Because joining another coalition ran by kikes is bad. The fucking EU is enough trouble already as it is

>Joining a military alliance that allows Turkey in.

this! 100%this

Sure, just remove Usa, Turkey and all Balkan countries.

Hollanda

Gott damm, kraut-nii-kun, that is some special schnitzel-flavored stupid right there.

why balcans? whats wrong with them?

It's basically extended Turkey

but they hate t*rks, except albanians

>Denmark is higher
This might be enough to redpill a lot of swedes actually. We've got this weird one sided rivalry with the island jews and want to be better than them at all cost. Now that we aren't...

Ireland is apart of the UN. They had to send their soldiers to the Congo to die during the 60s. I’m fact most countries a part of the UN have peackeeping armies. Your argument is invalid.

Sorry to burst your bubble but that's only on Reddit. Everyone in real life likes Danes.

Even we don’t want to be a part of it. None of you faggy little euro states pay your dues. You just love having our missile silos near your state.

Ireland has also always been neutral. They sat out ww2 and ww1. Although they’ve fought for the UN before.

You’re countries full of people who would rather watch the world burn than help it either way? Or you aren’t ever sure which side to pick and don’t want to end up on the losing side?

>ww1
Ireland was a part of the United Kingdom. Thousands of Irish died fighting the Germans

I stand corrected. Though didn’t they revolt during the war?

Most of them are (or have become) rich due to the free market. They can support themselves and don't really need big daddy America to help them. However, as more and more countries go socialist (See Denmark and Sweden) we will see them joining the Nato, At least that's my hypothesis.

As for the military: Even if a country were to declare war on let's say Switzerland, America would still aid them as long as the attacker isn't Russia or China. The USA is the world police.

Lol serbia is fucked if they try to kill mudshits, fucking imperialistic USA

Austria vowed to be permenantly neutral between America and the SU because otherwise the communists would have couped the government and turned into another Warsaw Pact shithole

> Yes, Norway, Denmark [...]
> Meanwhile, Switzerland, Austria, Yes,
Huh?!?

NATO is a defensive alliance. Afghanistan was the only time it was used, and Islamic terror has very much to do with Europe.

>Gott damm, kraut-nii-kun, that is some special schnitzel-flavored stupid right there.
Or god-tier bants, you choose which it is

>As for the military: Even if a country were to declare war on let's say Switzerland, America would still aid them as long as the attacker isn't Russia or China. The USA is the world police.
So what purpose is there to be in NATO and get shittalked by Trump and have to send soldiers to die for American wars?

The point was that I acknowledge some small rich countries in Europe are part of NATO, but of the top 10 countries, half are not. There are close to 50 countries in Europe, the only 5 not wanting to join are small rich ones. All the poor ones and all the big ones want to join or have joined.

How come?

>So what purpose is there to be in NATO and get shittalked by Trump and have to send soldiers to die for American wars?

Your politicians get to take a hefty cut of the hundreds of billions of euro set aside for military spending (((legally))) as (((consultants))). That's about it and it seems that is more than good enough for them to join up.

I'll have you know Sweden is bigger than Germany.

>Denmark and Norway have fewer than 5 million people.

Kraut education?
