We’re seeing from the White House that written words, rules, and laws are meaningless to them. They’re only a permanent member because words say so, and the members are willing to honour those words. If the USA were to attack another NATO member I’m sure those words can and will be ignored.

Bullshit. People avoid politics and have loud opinions all the time. I understand your burden, the state of the world is depressing af, but to claim that the ignorant keep their opinions to themselves is absurd.

To clarify though, the news isn’t really politics. The news is theatre.

I agree that people can live their reality how they want but it also has to be remembered that everything is political so if you avoid politics it’s hard to complain when things aren’t going your way. Particularly if you live in a democratic system.
