And opinions on NATO being weakened or strengthened during Trump's administration are prone to being politicized. Here's one for you that's more balanced and says NATO became stronger and it criticizes Trump but says that NATO was strengthened partially in spite of Trump and partially because of him: http://turkishpolicy.com/article/965...d-the-alliance |

Turkish Policy Quarterly is an Istanbul-based quarterly magazine From 2018 From Turkeys no less Not sue if you missed theses in the article Paradoxically Trumps attacks on the alliance are actually strengthening the alliance defenders are coming out the woodwork especially in Congress. Jedi mind trick? Or how about “ European confidence in American leadership has plunged during Trumps watch So basically Trumps incompetent behavior and treatment towards NATO accidentally strengthens NATO LOL The only person stopping Putin is Putin Risk vs reward only the Trump fan club think Trumps masculinity kept Putin out and Biden is weak Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

So what do you think the risks and rewards are for Putin to attack. By "attack," I mean an actual physical, armed attack, not political verbiage. |

Not sure if you also missed this: https://thehill.com/opinion/national...vigorated-nato |
If you were Ukraine, Russia today would be like a person you divorced thirty years ago because he was beating you, now coming back with a knife saying you belong to him.
With all your neighbors standing around saying how concerned they are but doing nothing to help as they don’t want to make him angry. And he claims that the knife is not to attack you but to protect himself from your new boyfriend. Claims he feels threatened by the guy you’re about to marry while you’re not even engaged yet. It says something about Russia that even Bulgaria, once renowned as the unofficial 16th republic of the USSR, couldn't wait to join the EU and NATO. But keep arguing for the most corrupt oligarchy in the world. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |
There has been a lot of drama surrounding Russian Gas flowing into Western Europe and i wonder if Putin is going to use Ukraine as a bartering chip for pipeline approvals.
Just a hunch |

No I have said Putin invaded Crimea because he wanted to He’s afraid of Biden because he’s fixing the damage done to nato by you know who, who questioned NATO existence and Trump Told G7 Leaders That Crimea Is Russian Because Everyone Speaks Russian In Crimea .. with his enablers out of the White House ! now he needs to change gears.. And if Putin does invade Ukraine there is not military response Biden could make with out congressional approval.. but most conservatives want a tough guy response it their viagra ,, sanctioning Russia isn’t masculine enough |

If you think Trumps behavior towards nato was intentional . With the goal of strengthening NATO |
Russian court orders oldest civil rights group Memorial to shut
Curious timing |
Ric Grenell, former acting director of national intelligence, told Newsmax on Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin is ''smelling weakness'' from the U.S. and President Joe Biden regarding the situation in Ukraine.
''It's really a problem because Putin is seeing weakness. He's smelling weakness,' Like I said it’s all the right is pushing :btu: |

i’m with you on january 6, but i can’t help but notice how, well, selective you are in terms of when you’re opposed to interfering with the democratic process, and when you seem to be fine with it. shockingly, you’re consistently ok with it when your side does it. but that’s just a coincidence. when elected democrats in the TX state legislature hopped on a chartered jet to flee the state so that the legislative process could not function, did you call that out? When rioters stormed the WI state capital because the republicans had passed legislation weakening labor union influence, that was ok with you. When stacey abrams says her election was stolen, not a peep from you. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

saying “false equivalencies” with zero support (as usual) makes you look stupid, weak,,and desperate. the whole idea of superdelegates on the left, is a specific attempt to give the democrats the ability to undermine democracy when they don’t happen to like the results of the democratic process. it’s completely antithetical to democracy. the superdelegates aren’t elected, yet they get to overrule the democratic process in primaries. try making that even a little bit wrong.

There’s no provision for “primaries” in the Constitution. In fact the current two party system is the founder’s nightmare. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

how about the left, after the 2016 election, asking electors to ignore the outcome of our democratic process, the left didn’t like the outcome, so they tried to change the outcome after a free election. isn’t that pretty much what trump was asking for on january 6th? have fun with that. there are democrats in congress today, who objected to states’ electors casting their votes for trump after the 2016 election. but as always, it’s ok when they do it.

yes, superdelegates only matter in close primaries. but why not just trust the democrat voters? why do unelected superdelegates get to overrule the results of a free and fair election? why was it ok when democrats asked electors not to cast their votes for trump? why wasn’t that undermining free and fair elections? you can’t begin to make that wrong. lobbing baseless insults just proves my point. everything is ok when democrats do it.

It’s not fun, it’s the greatest threat to the constitution since the war between the states. And let’s not forget Y’all are acting like you’ve never seen a 43 year old Governor who only won by 30k votes in a State with 21m people who he failed to protect from a deadly virus for 2 years so he could suck-up to MAGA base & imitate a septuagenarian grifter go missing for 2 weeks at Xmas before.

you say desantis failed, but you won’t say that about Cuomo, whose numbers are worse despite having a fewer percentage of elderly. You’re a thoughtless political hack. you are the exact, precise mirror image of sean hannity, you’re exactly as predictable as he is. Do you not see that? You’re the same parrot that he is. So according to your side, Cuomo was the “gold standard “ in covid leadership. And even though Desantis has a lower death rate ( with more seniors and fewer lockdowns), he failed?? That just makes ALL KINDS of sense. And huge numbers of people are moving to FL. So America doesn’t agree with you, Pete. You’re scared sh*tless of Desantis, and it shows, and you’re right to be.

Keep making up baloney
You tried to make primaries, which only exist in the realm of political parties equivalent to a general election. Then you falsely claim some equivalence between Cuomo and DeathSantis Poor victim Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |
