    Do it … and lose 85% of the overseas bases, including spy-, radar- and sonar stations…

    I smell a taco, again…

      Along with all intelligence sharing etc. I don’t think the fanta fuhrer reaslises the consequense of his mouth. Probably thinks he can withdraw from NATO but keep all the perks.

      What’s this “2/3 of Congress” punchline that I keep hearing? Seems like you can put anything on the books and then do whatever you want as long as you have enough silent enablers.

        No but he can run a limited special operation for 150 days without congressional approval. Putting troops on the ground would put it legally questionable but scale hasn’t been tested yet.

      Unfortunately while technically correct this has been shown time and time again he doesn’t care.

      Yeah, we gotta stop this kind of reactionary nonsense. I think the US has shown exactly what you do to sort out your problems with a nation.

      It doesn’t take going to war to stop the idiots trying to start one.

    he is a spoiled child, threatening to make a scene in a grocery store unless he gets his candy.

    Just a completely worthless hateful evil sack of shit. I wish him the absolute worst.

      He is being guided to by those close to him.

      A) Russia B) Israel

      Let’s not pretend a lot of Russian Jews didn’t end up in Israel. There is a lot of overlap for Epstein’s kompromat operation to leverage Trumps 180 of America.

        Sorry if I’m misinterpreting you, but I don’t think Trump is a 180 of America. This is all because we didn’t finish the job of Reconstruction - the slaver leaders remained, their stolen wealth remained, and their descendants voted for Trump.

        If things ever get better, then we should reconsider slave reparations from what’s left of those stolen estates.

    Is your stupid war making you look like a complete idiot? Try blaming others! 4/5 ‘doctors’ say revolutionary practice of throwing anyone and everyone under the bus is effective way to shift blame.

    Fucking dumbass loser Trump.

    Let him. Europe could use this to get a peace deal with Putin regarding Ukraine. Tell Putin that as part of a peace deal with Ukraine, US military equipment and personnel would be removed from Europe.

    Does NATO have any rules that members have to buy from NATO members? If so, any of the arms manufacturers would drone strike him themselves rather than risk it.

      I’m pretty sure it’s not a requirement (e.g. Poland buying tanks from South Korea), but it is of course strongly incenitivised and NATO members (mainly usa) undoubtedly put pressure on other members to buy internally. The pressure will fall away and the incentives will flip around to not buying from the usa
