Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump strongly considering pulling out of NATO [View all]
So let's understand this. Trump lifts sanctions against Russia to help the Russian economy. Consider this: The ONLY tanker he allows into Cuba is a Russian tanker.
Trump asks our allies to deplete their air defense capabilities as war is waging around them.

And now he is threatening to pull the U.S. out of NATO. A defensive organization that has kept Europe at peace since WWII. If Ukraine had been part of NATO in 2022, Pootin would have NEVER invaded.
I predict that Trump will pull us out of NATO. I also predict that when that happens it will be a short time before Pootin attacks and invades other European countries.
I hope I'm wrong. But I see our chance to avert such a world-wide catastrophe is for congressional republicans, at least some of them, to stand up and stop the insanity. What will it take for the republicans in congress to stop this madness? When WWIII breaks out, it will be too late.

I'm not sure Trump can do that, it would likely take Congress to move the US out of NATO...

I think it is more than a threat. The POS is going to pull out. Everything he touches turns to garbage.

Read the threads on what Zelenskyy is doing with the gulf states. This is changing a lot of geopolitical dynamics.

Our membership in NATO is confirmed by a treaty that would need an act of Congress to break.

He thought he could get them to lose ships and troops in HORMUZ by insulting them. He's stupid.
