    China knows the Republicans are going to gut NATO,

    China doesn’t care,

    China is committed to breaking the West’s dominion, which is why it’s making Russia into its vassal-state, totally-dependent-on-China, but with accountability/responsibility not having any direct-line into China, in the 1st place…

    Once Trump’s finished destroying the US, then … then the real action will begin, militarily.

    Give that about 1 dozen, or less, years, to occur.

    ContinuousHammerfall’s when the NATO-allied countries have been gutted, bankrupted, torn-apart through “populist dictatorship”, etc, and suddenly the triple-alliance throws EVERYthing they’ve got against us, to break our capability…

    Between now & then should be 2 more stages:

    economic-collapse, which Trump uses to gain & secure dictatorship,

    & the butchering of NATO & the West, economically, which should last … roughly 7 or 8 years, or so.

    Once those’re done, then the WW3 tantrum/pogrom can begin.

        He would leave NATO as soon as possible. No normal politician has ever suggested this before because it’s completely insane. It’s obvious Putin bullshit since it’s 100% against the best interests of the US and Europe, and only benefits Russia. It’s also a distortion that the EU doesn’t fund their part in NATO… a few countries spend less than they should, the rest are perfectly fine on that metric.

          Trump will not leave nato. That’s just fear momgerong and gore against his public statements.

          And not a few countries. The bulk were not contributing what they should and Trump was right. Russia was a threat. They should have listened.

            Taking his public statements at face value sure is not “fearmongering”. This deranged grandpa is often cited for “telling it like it is!!” so why would we not believe he means specifically what he says?

            Russia being a threat to Europe isn’t exactly surprising considering that threat is the entire reason NATO exists.
