Hitting Venezuela was easy. Let's see how we do against our NATO allies.

they would be over joyed to challenge the NATO European Countries especially so close to home.

And Putin also will be overjoyed.......making it easier for Russia to divide and conquer any of those NATO countries on his borders.
AND to dilute them from helping in Ukraine......

To love is to hurt.

So, so twisted it's incredibly difficult to wrap one's head around.

The moment I finally experienced clarity about how these sick people operate, I had a deep overwhelming feeling of sadness combined with the urge to vomit.

It was something that changed me forever.

The knowledge that such individuals exist, who are so evil and who will never be redeemed, fundamentally destroyed my deep belief that benevolent behavior is achievable by anyone.

These people are always going to be evil and that will never change.

I lost my ability to trust people, to feel truly free and happy, in that moment, forever. It was like someone murdered Pollyanna. And she was me.

I never thought I would have to ask that question in my lifetime but I am serious? If you support France, NATO, Denmark and are against tRump's USA are you a traitor or a patriot?

I think he only has about 3 people on his side, though. Everyone else would call you a patriot.

I just have to believe Europe knows a majority of Americans are trying to get this guy out of office but have to work through a system his party has rigged in its favor. If we can restore our democracy without a lot more bloodshed, we can build the trust back up. It will take time, but if we survive this debacle it will be the proof they need that we are a good partner that can be trusted. Germany is facing the possibility of a majority right wing government right now.

... to the rest of the world that this is Trump's Amerikkka, NOT the America I, at 78, grew up believing in, despite her flaws. The ONLY way that we can Make America Great Again is to flush Trump and his malignant minions down one of his gold-painted toilets, and wipe the influence of filth like Russell Vought and the Heritage Foundation off the face of the Earth forever. Then to acknowledge America's mistakes, rather than to try hiding them with lies, and promise to work to better ourselves, because America is not real estate, it's PEOPLE, and we're better than that. But, after all the damage that Trump has done, that's gonna take a while.

This is an illegal order to take over a NATO country.
