Don't threaten me with a good time. It's obviously just dumb scaremongering, but Trump is known to flip on policy on a whim so maybe 🥺

    There'll never be a day where I'm a Trump supporter; but I can say with confidence that deserting NATO is the only decent thing he'd do in office.

      Yeah, I doubt he'd do it, but it's funny seeing actual Republicans being against foreign wars and NATO for what seems like the first time in 30 years.

      He usually seems to go with whatever gets the biggest reaction, so who knows, maybe he'll break away and finally start his war on Denmark over Greenland like he always wanted.

        Republicans would switch to supporting the war overnight if they were suddenly running it. It wouldn't even be hard -- one Trump tweet along the lines of "now that I'm in charge we'll do this right" and the rank and file would fall in line.

      Yea? NATO? Like leaving that giant military infrastructure that is the basis for western peace? Who do you think will profit from this? Who profits from Brexit, from destabilising western allies? How did Brexit go for Britain? Americans always think they are the only once doing stuff for nato bit that is so damn incorrect. USA profits from so much within nato. Bases around the globe, knowledge, expertise, shared intelligence… Yeah we get it you do pay a whole lot of fucking money but do you really think it would be less if you left nato? It would be the opposite. And alone is never better against anyone than allied. Or would you rather go fight twenty Boxers with two hands and no talks and compromises needed or with another 30 organised men with different skills and talents who are sometimes smaller than you but never the less talented in different martial arts?
