*Trump was right about NATO . It should be disbanded pronto.*
Hawaii: give it back to the locals. The power that is. Get rid of statehood.
American Samoa. Give it to Samoa/Tonga.
Falklands. Lease it to the US for 99 years. Then give it to Argentina.
Northern Ireland-back to the Irish.
But the war in Ukraine is also a consequence of such corrupt incompetents gaining power.
There's no law against having both your domestic porch and foreign policy porch on fire at the same time. As a matter of fact, the latter is more likely when the former occurs.
Do we really want to get involved in a fight against Russia? Then put it before Congress.
Let the representatives of the people and the states declare war.
Like we're supposed to do.
I've noticed that you share your neocon gas quite freely here on FR...
And you should appreciate it. Breath deep my friend!
NATO’s purpose ended decades ago with the fall of the Soviet Union. But then it became one of those “too big to fail” things. Cash cow for defense contractors. Politicians won’t upset their defense “donors”, will they? Also helped fund defense for rich European countries. Not having to pay for their own defense, European countries can have generous social programs, free healthcare, free college, 6-8 weeks yearly vacations, 1 year maternity leave, freebies for refugees, etc all because they don’t have to spend on defense. Uncle Sam (US taxpayer) will take care of it. Europe loves NATO.
Very smart man, and you can glean a LOT of good information from him.
He's horribly bad at politics.
It's the losertarian thing, I think - and your description is apt: "He is all over the place in his positions and beliefs, and embraces ideas one minute that he will condemn a minute later. He doesn’t believe in anything. He is what someone had once described as a reckless iconoclast; someone who tears things down just to do it, without conscious thought or care about consequences."
His worst habit to blame Americans [including the people who follow him] for not rising up to tar and feather the criminals running our country.
Sorry, Karl - you first.
On the other hand, I learned much about economics, keto, the quaxxcines and other things on his Market Ticker over the years [still visit several times a week].
I just shake my head when he starts talking about Trump, though. It's the politics thing that he's bad at, again.
He never understood that Trump is Toto in The Wizard of Oz - drawing back the curtain for all of us to see The Wizard.
Welcome to the new FR. Anti NATO, Anti Trump and Anti American.
Donald Trump supports MORE aid to Ukraine, and obviously supported NATO as president. He bombed Russian airfields in Syria, and told NATO not to rely on Russian gas.
We'd get rid of two CommieCrat US senators instantly.
One of them has brain damage.
Wack jobs circling a ridiculous article saying NATO is legally invalid;
Like moths circling a flame of extremism.
And then start all the sick Anti Americanism, about how everything America ever did was as bad as Russia, and you really don’t have to support America to be a patriot.
Agreed
Communism is on the march
Europe can do what they like with NATO if we aren’t involved or footing everyone’s bill why should I care - we’ll finally be free of the albatross 🤪
Yeah! And while at it, restore PA, NY, NJ, MA, RI, VA, NC, SC, CN, MD, DE, NH, and GA to Her Majesty, after they were illegally and treasonously stolen from her government.
I do not support putins militarism and interventionism.

“There is no hypocrite like a neocon globalist hypocrite... “
And they are the only ones who cannot see it.
“So obviously sometimes escalation can be in accordance with the UN charter.”
The UN did not and will not authorize sending arms to Ukraine. Or any other escalation.
