... which has cut significant amounts of government spending...
Has it, though? I mean, even its own over-inflated "receipts" are barely a microscopic percentage of a drop of the overall budget.
Yes, please. Removing the US from NATO has the advantage that countries like Ukraine and Georgia can sooner join NATO. Since Russia is hostile to them, Trump (who is a Russian asset) would never let them join NATO. Getting the US out of NATO removes Trump's vote.
The US can no longer be expected to fulfill its obligations to NATO anyway, so removing the US doesn't decrease NATO's total defensive power. Trump has said he would refuse to help unless other NATO countries increase spending (which is happening slowly, but not yet). Trump would never deploy the military to defend against any attack by Putin. He may even deploy the military to assist Putin.
Trump has said he would refuse to help unless other NATO countries increase spending (which is happening slowly, but not yet).
the u.s. itself doesn't even spend what the fucktard wants other nato countries to spend on defence (five percent gdp). and some proposed cuts would actually put u.s. defence spending below even the current nato target of two percent gdp.
It's terrifying to see these madmen ruining organizations created solely for peacekeeping and conflict aversion.
I hope this won't come to fruition. No, let me rectify... THIS CANNOT COME TO FRUITION. In contrast to what many Americans think, the distance between Russia and the U.S is 55 miles away. 55 miles between Alaska and Russia. Why would one think that Russia won't stop after they completed the checkmarks in knocks on wood Alexandr Dughin's "The Basis of Geopolitics(1997)" thesis?
Considering they broke several ceasefires and agreements/treaties/memorandums, why would one think they wouldn't have pretenses of annexing Alaska back, hence reverting the purchase by force from the U.S? (View the Alaska Purchase 1867 sale)
Let that sink in and meditate upon the requirement of an organization meant to halt The Russian Federation expansion.
Trump will find a way to give Russia Alaska back. If and when Trump needs more money for legal fees, he'll willingly sell Alaska for a few million.
Well after all, what do we need Alaska for? Does it have vast reserves of untapped hair dye, the Stuff Prez. Leon Needs? Don't think so.
It’s just cold up there. No purpose. Clearly.
Musk is a moron, instead of the US leaving NATO, why not just move. He can just go to Mars as far as I'm concerned.
He never wanted Mars or any scientific endeavors, he just wanted public adoration, that's all he's ever wanted. He paid hundreds of billions just to get to a place where he can try to influence as many people as possible into liking him.
B/c if he can make the US like Russia, he can achieve his obvious goal of becoming the world's first trillionaire w/in the next 3.5 years. At that point, he will probably just become a shadow king... I mean more-so that he already is.
FWIW, I think it's funny that the macOS dictionary doesn't recognize "trillionaire" as a legit word. Of course, it shouldn't be, but we all know it's inevitable.
Why the fuck should we care what he says?!
Because he has unchecked power in our government. It's important to pay close attention to what he says and does, so we can figure out the best ways to remove him.
Isolationism won't make America safer, just lonelier on the global stage.

Wait until the US dives deeper into the fuck around part and countries start putting sanctions on them.
Russia isn't going to be buying a pile of Musk's shitty Cyberlemons.
I publicly support deporting this laminated-faced welfare queen.
NATO I can understand, but why UN? Un would be a mistake
