So go from the G-7 to the G-5 (UK, France, Germany, Japan, and Canada) and the G-3 (U.S., Russia, Italy).
Our $20 Trillion GDP is more than the other G7 countires combined.
We can create another economic group in the blink of the eye and let the bankster globalist assholes go pound sand!
I am half Korean with some Russian/Ukrainian ancestry on my European side and take the fate of both regions extremely personally. My parents met near the DMZ at the height of the Cold War.
We are not in a “Cold War” with Russia per se, but it is a “Hybrid” one with some added nuances and with China playing a greater leading role. Russian and Chinese people understand this perfectly and are overjoyed by the lack of Western resolve and unity.
Western European entities such as France, Britain, and Germany are irresolute and flakey as usual, but to insinuate that we should in any way acknowledge let Russian and Chinese aggression go unchecked is the ultimate height of idiocy.
Poland, Romania, the Baltic States (Lithuania/Estonia/Latvia) are a lot less flakey. They are our truest allies in Europe. They pay into NATO no problem. They aren’t calling for saving things like the Iran Nuke Deal. Poland has even offered $2 billion dollars for a permanent US base.
Germany meanwhile is allowing Russia’s monopoly on European energy go unchecked with Merkel signing the Nord Stream 2 Pipeline Deal. Not by accident that Trump’s trade war with Europe sped up shortly afterwards. American ambassadors were working really hard to stop the deal.
Hungary, Italy, and Czech Republic would be great allies too had Russian-trollers not taken advanatage of their grievances with the E.U. - It is vital that conservative and populist movements in Europe be rid of Kremlin influence and false Kremlin-driven narratives — which apparently, even members of Free Republic are falling prey to as well.
Trump and Japanese FM Abe have a solid relationship
If there was a split Abe would sit with Trump and Putin
