(10,952 posts)that the US would be on the outside. NATO countries would be foolish to consider partnering with the US under any circumstance as long as he is in the WH and Rethugs control Congress. Trump and Rethugs cannot be trusted about anything.

Everytime I write stuff about putin on any site I get these phone calls on my landline that I dont recognize and dont answer. I let them go to voicemail and the calls ends. I have blocked so many calls on my phone I hope I dont run out of room on my phones memory.

trump is too fucking stupid and self-involved to even contemplate the consequences of his actions. he just knows that Europeans think he's a boor.

(7,399 posts)Trump doesn't care about NATO because he doesn't care about the USA or its perennial allies. But there are a great many Republicans who actually do understand why NATO exists and have fought alongside NATO troops. He will lose more support.
Scary stuff though. No US in NATO may encourage Putin to try something prior to November. Win for Russia and a big distraction for Trump. I hope that doesn't happen.

(7,399 posts)If that were to have taken place a few weeks prior to November I do think there would be a bump for Repubs. Definitely would be a factor if it occurred just prior to Nov. 2020.I am hoping for a backlash against the GOP if the buffoon blows up NATO. I believe that would have an effect.

(7,768 posts)I watched Malcolm Nance explain on 'Morning Joe' how fucking easy it was for trump to become a "willing asset" for Russia. This fucking fool was like putty in Putin's hands.
All is going to plan. They're blowing it all up. Everything. We are so screwed.

(32,729 posts)congress and the journalists who are closest to the story don't want to believe their own eyes/ears/common sense. They are in such denial, it's frustrating and scary. It's really happening.
