He's not wrong... but also claimed he would end the Ukraine/Russia shite within 24hrs of taking office. We're on what, day 450 something and we are still sending them $$$

He’s definitely not wrong. To that end, when NATO was formed, Europes demographics and even politics was much more closely aligned with the US. While we have drifted left, they’ve cascaded left and allowed unchecked Muslim migration. We no longer share any commonality. We need to leave NATO.

Does he think Ukraine is part of NATO?

It takes two willing parties to reach a peace deal. Neither Ukraine nor Russia really want to stop and call it a draw.

How could you possibly come up with this conclusion?

A complete inability to grasp the very basics, and so now you know why they’re so confused

Do you think we aren't there entirely because we are part of NATO?

They can handle Europe. They do not need us.

We are there because Russia is an aggressor and we have strategic interests in them not expanding. The USSR was our mortal enemy for 50ish years.

Whether you like Trump or not, he's correct about this. What's the purpose of sending American tax dollars to NATO, only to have them balk when we ask for help?

Kinda like paying insurance every month only to have them reject every claim.

We are there because our last President was corrupt and compromised by the Ukraine government. He thought he could threaten and bully Putin enough to stop this invasion but it only made him want it even more

Lol Biden had nothing to do with Russia invading. 1000 years of consistent foreign policy. Catherine the Great said expand or die. Control the 9 gateways of invasion to Russia and survive forever. Russia is in demographic collapse. If they didn't invade, they would lose their opportunity.

9 gateways you ask? Well, take a look at the Russian occupations in many of their bordering nations. Russia has been invaded over 50 times throughout history. They know where it's come from. And they know if they control the chokepoints, they'll be a fortress of a nation.

Soviets controlled all 9 gateways. When the USSR fell, Russia was left without a single gateway in their control. In the early 90s, they occupied Chechnya. They have security forces stationed in Kazakhstan. They took Crimea. They want Ukraine. They want Moldova. They want the Baltics. None of this is a surprise. And it has absolutely nothing to do with our politics.

Melt bitch. You mofos can't take win after win after win.

So who gives a F if those 2 morons fight a little longer, while we slammed the border doors, fixed Iran, lowered inflation, cut federal employees, fixed Venezuela, and have Cuba begging us to take over.

He's stopped 10 ongoing wars..and u focus on 1. Whats a moron like u gonna do when that one ends?
