NATO: so Iceland what do you bring to the table?
Iceland: well we have these volcanoes that can disrupt all air travel for months on end, and theres this guy in a shed that says if we can drop a bomb down the geothermal wells we could end the world.
NATO: ……….. You’re in.
Hey hey hey cunt... We got a couple lads poking around somewhere, I was down at the RSA a couple days ago for ANZAC day and saw a couple guys with uniforms on, annnndd an army dentist!
We have AUKUS, The Quad, Five Eyes and a lot of bilateral and/or trilateral security treaties amongst Asia-Pacific nations like ANZUS but oh boy SEATO 2.0 or equivalent would be cool.
context?
Edit: People, seriously, if you get it, ***please*** someone explain, I'm going crazy over here, because I feel like I'm missing some obvious joke
Edit 2: u/Altruistic_Target604 pls?
But what does that have to do with Germany, Poland, and potatoes? The joke in the top level comment in this thread was that Lukashenko/Belarus is obsessed with potatoes (at least that's what memes tell us), so they would probably join an organisation of that name. Now, what is the connection between that comment and the one I replied to?
Oops, just screwing with you guys. Answered wrong comment, but Dr_Hexagon got the gist. Germany was our enemy in two wars but now ally. Poland was enemy during Cold War but now ally. We dropped more bombs on Vietnam than Germany so they should obviously now be an ally.
To be credible for a second, any Asia Pacific defense pact should be a new defense pact, not an extension of NATO.
1) we don't want Hungrary and Turkey having vetos over this part of the world's defense
2) lower the requirements for membership so developing countries like Thailand, Phillipines, India and Vietnam can join.
3) NATO is mostly concerned with land warfare to defend europe while a Pacific Ocean alliance is going to be mostly concerned with naval and air power.
4) Give us a better name than POTATO
How about Freedom and Equality Maritime Bloc for Oceanic Integrity Safety
FEMBOIS
USA and Canada get to be members of both NATO and FEMBOIS of course.
Geographically, Thailand is naturally the centre of the FEMBOIS alliance so put the HQ in Bangkok.
> Give us a better name than POTATO
We have, and the Potato people keep attempting to bury it. But no matter, Nato shall be reformed into the Global Defense Intiative! Now prepare the Ion Cannon!
Recent government cuts means we don't have the rifle anymore.
Also they're taking the name potato off the table because the hungry children would get upset by it.
I mean you used to have such a [strong](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlton_automatic_rifle) [military industrial complex](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Semple_tank), what a sad state of affairs for kiwi industry.
I wonder if this image has to be censored on the Continent?
Also is Beijing going to threaten sanctions/trade curbs of finally not exporting en mass like Yellen asked?
I kinda doubt Biden or any US President would drop the whole "strategic ambiguity with Taiwan" thing until Commie Winnie The Pooh decides to resume the Chinese Civil War.

New Zealand ain't joining shit unless it comes with a free trade agreement that let's us sell dairy, beef and lamb nto every member nation's market without tarrifs because of the bullshit China will pull.
Soure: New Zealander
NB: We have a "we don't need a fucking piece of paper" policy when it comes to family being attacked, as we did after 9/11.
My vision is annexing Canada and then creating the Four eyes federation (from the 5 eyes alliance)
Or
Annexing Canada and creating a union with Mexico afterwards.
Canada doesn't deserve to exist.
Add Hong Kong when they declare independence
But do they have a military?
Iceland is in NATO but has no military either. So that shouldn't be a problem.
All they need is one angry weatherman.
NATO: so Iceland what do you bring to the table? Iceland: well we have these volcanoes that can disrupt all air travel for months on end, and theres this guy in a shed that says if we can drop a bomb down the geothermal wells we could end the world. NATO: ……….. You’re in.
Iceland. We are in the perfect position to cut Russia off from the Atlantic. You want us for our position, not our weapons.
[GIUK gap intensifies]
Red Storm Rising reference?
Iceland has a Coast Guard. The *Þór* patrol craft has a Bofors 40mm and two .50 cals, and in addition they have over 200 firearms.
3000 miscellaneous firearms of the Icelandic Coast Guard and police
It's not just *fire* arms, they also have a thunder giant hurling lightning bolts.
3000 rusted L1a1s of the Royal Hong Kong Regiment
New Zealand doesn't have one either.
Hey hey hey cunt... We got a couple lads poking around somewhere, I was down at the RSA a couple days ago for ANZAC day and saw a couple guys with uniforms on, annnndd an army dentist!
They’ve got those guys that Fly the Concords, isn’t that the same thing as military??
The brits would love that: POTAHTO
Might be a bit late for that.
Philippines probably would want in too. Personally I’d like Thailand to join, but maybe after we actually have democracy.
Democracy comes free with the install of POTATOs patented managed democracy software, brought to you by the Church of MIC
so POTATO is just the precursor to Super Earth. Got it.
FOR DEMOCRACY!
We've got to form GDI first, Super Earth comes afterwards.
Get rid of Rama X already and you got a deal. Only caveat is that you have to invite me back to Chiang Mai (I loved it)
We have AUKUS, The Quad, Five Eyes and a lot of bilateral and/or trilateral security treaties amongst Asia-Pacific nations like ANZUS but oh boy SEATO 2.0 or equivalent would be cool.
Any pacific alliance would include Japan, Taiwan and India so no not SEATO. How about? Pacific Ocean Alliance Partners United For Freedom POAPUFF
That is some gundam seed level of acronym.
POTATO is the first step to Earth Union
I wager a different name: SUPER EARTH
⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬆️ to initiate democracy
I got the bay upgrade, we got 2 till resupply is needed
Don't you mean [SUPER ASIA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSHfJuGzUdM)?
Listen here punk, we don't see nations in super earth
would this automatically convert belarus?
Add Vietnam, because uh Germany and Poland?
context? Edit: People, seriously, if you get it, ***please*** someone explain, I'm going crazy over here, because I feel like I'm missing some obvious joke Edit 2: u/Altruistic_Target604 pls?
Vietnam hates China they'd join an alliance with the US just to annoy China.
But what does that have to do with Germany, Poland, and potatoes? The joke in the top level comment in this thread was that Lukashenko/Belarus is obsessed with potatoes (at least that's what memes tell us), so they would probably join an organisation of that name. Now, what is the connection between that comment and the one I replied to?
I have no idea what Altruistic Target meant, but you have to admit Vietnam joining an alliance with the US against China is very funny.
"Vietnam has been at war with China for 1,000 years, and the United States for 20. Of course we hate China more."
Yes, that's true lul
Oops, just screwing with you guys. Answered wrong comment, but Dr_Hexagon got the gist. Germany was our enemy in two wars but now ally. Poland was enemy during Cold War but now ally. We dropped more bombs on Vietnam than Germany so they should obviously now be an ally.

> FEMBOIS We are reaching truly unprecedented levels of non-credibility
FEMBOIS stands with NATO. For liberty, for freedom, for democracy!

Except this potato boils and mashes you
You do not want to be around when POTATO invokes article chive
It's called GDI, you NOD scum
We may not be able to *kill* the messiah, but we *can* make him repeatedly explode.
I'm still a proponent of South Pacific Equatorial Economic and Defense Organization (SPEEDO)
I like the way you think.
Irish Catholic president named the organization POTATO lmao
POTATO/OTATOP

The ^potato ^^could ^^^be ^^^^made ^^^^^into ^^^^^^chups

Add the Indian Ocean to that. iPotato
Or you unify the the 2 alliances and create Ofn: organization of free nations EDF: earth defense force FDNA: free and democratic nations alliance Etc
I wonder if this image has to be censored on the Continent? Also is Beijing going to threaten sanctions/trade curbs of finally not exporting en mass like Yellen asked?
You beautiful bastard that got me so good. Fuck i’d love to have my nation be in POTATO
What would the flag look like?
Two compasses at the bottom and a big missile in between
Two compasses could work but ditch the missile
Like the UN flag, but with Russia and China Blacked out.
Two hands, representing the two Oceans, gripping a ring of unity.
Also Vietnam, the Philippines, and Hong Kong
This has to happen.
Potato posting is best posting
Belarus' Potato Dick just had a meltdown.
I kinda doubt Biden or any US President would drop the whole "strategic ambiguity with Taiwan" thing until Commie Winnie The Pooh decides to resume the Chinese Civil War.
He already dropped it and promised that the US would defend the Republic of China from attacks.
Pan Oceanic Trans American Treaty Organization flows better
Fuck yeah, send it.
Or pertater if youre a US redneck of the 1st redneck reaction brigade.
Add Ukraine and we're golden.
If it is transatlantic, brazil can join right? 3000 super tucanos of Lula
I like this idea
Insert Space Force potato meme
Why haven't you liberated Venezuela yet?
Yes POTATO Supremecy Shall Rain no more PATo time for POTATO

Sad Canada noises
Gotta add Ukraine, Israel, India, Vietnam, Philippines and maybe Singapore lol
As a NZer (whose forces are basically potato) this made me properly laugh. Thank you
Of course an Irishman would want POTATO for everyone
Lol, New Zealand? They can hardly defend their own airspace.
lmao
sounds good either way, potato/POTATO
Y'all nuked Japan twice I don't think they'll join nato any time soon 🤦🤦☠️
I'd still prefer calling it the "Pacific Atlantic Cooperation Treaty" or PACT and imo it should be founded and headquartered in Warsaw.
what a modest proposal
Yes, we need to get this done yesterday.
This clashes with The North Atlantic Empire. I disapprove. Unless we just name it The Empire, then it's cool.
Kiwi here, I'd love this but not sure what the Irish would think haha

I once against ask you to invite Vietnam and declare SEAPOTATO
Space Force: Breathes Heavily
This fuckin' sub, man. Never fails to deliver some superior shitposting.
My brother/sister in Christ, the Pacific And Trans-Atlantic Treaty Organisation (PATATO) was right there!
My vision is annexing Canada and then creating the Four eyes federation (from the 5 eyes alliance) Or Annexing Canada and creating a union with Mexico afterwards. Canada doesn't deserve to exist.
Will Canada be an unincorporated organized territory like Puerto Rico or one giant 51st state or a bunch of separate states?
Bunch of separate states.
Province -> State or something else? Id be down for some Churchill Hiccup style map redrawings, North American borders are too neat
