Should have been done in 1991.
That or expel Turkey.
And yet the Left over there are always crying, “Yankee Go Home”
Well, we’ll give them their wish.
Screw the Socialist Islamic republics of Western Europe. The US should form a new alliance in S E Asia with Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan, India and Australia. Maybe Philippines too but it’s unclear where Duterte stands.
We don’t have the money for a global empire. Worry about our own country and our massive debt.
Europe can take care of itself.
NATO has become like the UN. Useless now. Turkey? Egypt? Should not be in NATO.
And the new Intermarium, with Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary.
NATO lost all credibility after going into Kosovo.
I think that 70 years after WW II we should be able to depart from NATO.
(a)The passage of time with different world threats today, (b) the fact that the other NATO countries want us to provide most of their defense with us paying the cost, and (c) having an increasing strident mohammedan country (Turkey) in NATO that we might be called to defend, makes me inclined to agree with Trump on this.

Including OUR military expenses. They are not poor.
“I will not die for Estonia!!”
But it would be a worthy cause because the Baltics have some of the most gorgeous women!
I’m with you guys. Asia and Eastern Europe and North America. Anyone else want in? Maybe South Pacific?
Thank you yes. They are parasites.
I like how few are overweight. Well toned.
Love the cartoon ... you nailed it.
