NATO head: Trump ‘committed’ to the alliance
NATO head: Trump's tough talk has added $100B to alliance, helped deter Russia
Those are welcome headlines. Since we know that Trump periodically frets about us being in NATO, it's good and smart for NATO's chief to seize the opportunity to butter Trump up.
Domestically Trump is surrounded in smoldering embarrassment so this bit of positive international reinforcement may have extra weight and he might remember it at times when he otherwise might ask himself and his close advisers why we're staying in NATO.
NATO is becoming as useless as the UN, but for NATO specifically it is time to evaluate options to dealing with what Russia is now in comparison to what the USSR was then.

The civilian ignorance of our military alliances runs deep because no one looks at maps anymore. Look at a map, and think like a Russian: "Yeah, I'd take it. America's NATO pups won't go to war over Latvia, and we'll isolate Estonia for later!" The former Soviet "buffer states" survival comes down to the USA election one more limp wristed, sniveling leftist president. Putin knows what all of the parties on the line know and don't say: NATO is more theory than fact.

Are we willing to go to war with Russia because they invaded Estonia, or Lithuania? The alliance commits us to do so. I guess you want us to roll into Russia's front yard in a Desert Storm infantry and tank battle against an opponent who fights back. That is bad enough to contemplate since few in America could find these countries on a map. If the other European countries were paying their fair share, that is one thing, but until recently, they weren't. They are paying more - figures I don't have, BTW.
The death toll due to American participation in battle will be high and can easily lead to a more general sub nuclear war. Oh yeah, did you know Russia feels it can use small battlefield nukes - they call them "tactical", or "sub nuclear", but a nuke is a nuke. How would the US treat such a thing? By shooting back or retreating? If NATO retreats, then they have admitted that NATO is not worth the paper it's printed on.
And as much as you want to **** on Trump, it was Obama that emboldened Russia to take Crimea, and it was Obama that ceded China control of the South China Sea via a fait accompli while he worked on getting the races at war with each other with cops as collateral damage.

That is the message Vladimir Putin wants Trump to deliver.
It is amazing how in just my lifetime the Republican party has gone from being rabid anti-Russian to being their water carriers and servants.
Ronald Reagan would roll over in his grave if he could see this.

Okay ..... Russia is bad and getting worse. Interfering in our elections, aggressive in the rest of the world, encouraging Trump to disengage in the rest of the world so he doesn't interfere with their accumulation of power.
Do you disagree with that?

Without people smartly managing Trump like the NATO head is doing, we won't have to wait for a leftist president. People like you and Trump are telling Putin to go ahead and do it. The only question is why you feel a need to insult leftists for theoretically in some future doing what you're peachy with having happen now.
