Mitt Romney warns NATO countries are hinting they'll seek new allies if Trump is re-elected

"I think if President Trump were to return as president, the nations of the world would say they have to really rethink their own national security and the extent to which they want to be in line with us and be allied with someone else," he elaborated. "You saw that happen during the time President Trump was there. I have had conversations with leaders of other nations now, members of NATO, and they raise this question: we're happy to see you committed to our mutual defense, but we don't know whether you're just committed short-term or whether this is a long-term and permanent commitment. I think it's long-term and permanent."

Biden faces so many challenges, the rest of the world respects and trusts Biden, but they know America is 1 election from becoming an authoritarian ruled country.

as guaranteed protection from Countries like Canada, Israel, etc. in case Russia breaks it's agreement (remember 2014).

Any who, I assume Rmoney will not vote for him (although I don't think shithole will be an candidate).

It’s not just about Trump anymore. Think the country will be in good hands with DeSantis, Tom Cotton, or any other Trump wannabes in charge of it?

Why would they support the USA if Trump is going to probably follow Putin's lead? He's an autocrat, just like Putin.

With the exception of a guy like Romney or, crazy as this may sound, Christie. Any of the other assholes who look like they’re running are as bad or worse than the asshole.

This country is in deep trouble.

Yes, of course, over Piss Wig.

But Christie will be just another huge lapdog for Putin.

I know — I mocked him too, for that slip of the tongue. Hey, everybody knew the Cold War was over and Russia was defanged, right?

I lived to regret my error a lot worse than he did, I am sure.

Mitt Romney is a lot smarter about foreign policy that I thought at the time — his biggest problem regarding all things Trump and the modern GOP is insufficient spine, but sadly that afflicts a lot of our own as well.
