Harleyman Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 NATO is in Afghanistan because the UN asked it to take over. Blame the presence of troops on the UN. This list may not be entirely up to date but a few more countries than the US and the UK (and indeed, a few non-NATO countries) are involved. United States 29,820 United Kingdom 8300 Germany 3640 Canada 2830 France 2780 Italy 2350 Netherlands 1770 Poland 1590 Australia 1090 Romania 900 Spain 780 Denmark 700 Turkey 690 Czech Rep 580 Croatia 530 Norway 490 Bulgaria 470 Belgium 405 Hungary 370 Sweden 265 Lithuania 200 Macedonia 170 Latvia 160 New Zealand 150 Albania 140 Obviously spinthrift is unaware of this. To his mind he sees "Big Bully" uncle Sam dragging Britain screaming and struggling into a war fought by only two western nations. He needs to get an education on what the NATO alliance is all about and what the obligations of all members are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce_Shark Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 NATO isn't influenced by America? Ha ha ha ha ha ! All NATO/OTAN members have "influence", otherwise there wouldn't be a reason for them to remain involved... ...care to stop avoiding my questions?
