Why anyone thinks that NATO was ever anything but 90% US, 7% Britain, and 3% French is beyond me. The only NATO nations that would have any fight in them are the ones that lived with the Russian boot on their necks. They'll fight. That's why Trump and the Eastern Europeans are aligned; we share the same correct view of reality. <br /><br />You know who else fights? Donny from Queens, that's who. Donny fights. Against the entire media complex from TV to newspaper, half his own party, every Democrat, all the tech companies, every leftist around the globe, and our own deep state government, which includes the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, every government agency, a Special Prosecutor filled with 18 headhunting attorney generals looking to make a name for themselves, and his own justice department. Donny fights them all, all at once, every goddamned day, with Twitter, a smirk, and his magic cuff-links, and his long, red necktie that covers his balls against leftist witchery. Donny makes me want to go to the gym and hit that heavy bag for an hour in his honor.<br /><br />And with all of that he has still found the stones to piss off the Russians all around the world, including selling Poland missile defense, arming the Ukraine, and calling out Germany for trying to build a pipeline so that Russia can sell them natural gas while simultaneously fucking over the Baltic States at will. And he rightly called out NATO for being a fraud, and entirely worthless if it every had to actually do its job. And most importantly, he told the Iranians and their European bootlickers that the deal was as dead as Hillary's grifter Foundation. Dead as the dead Russians he left all over the Syrian battlefield. He also reassured Egypt that we hate the Muslim Brotherhood as much as they do, and we told the Israelis that if they need to take out the trash, we sure as shit were not going to stop them. Iran can't go crying to Obama when Israel wipes out Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Golan, and Iranian regulars all over Syria (happy hunting, boys!).<br /><br />And I'm digging the way he talks to the ChiComs. With robotics and automation, we can pull half our investments out of China, back here to the US; put 'em in Dixie, we love to run loud machines and the smell of heavy industry. And $20 says he prevails in Venezuela, and the Russians lose billions on that deal. And if they complain, we'll just dump enough oil and natural gas on the market to make sure Putin can't pay his goons; unpaid goons is a big liability in that business model. It's called fracking, and Donny and Rick Perry like it--a lot. And so does our economy. West Texas is swarming with decked out Ford 350's with wicked lift kits and lots of chrome. MAGA stickers in all the windows.<br /><br />We're still the good guys, and Donny from Queens knows it. Who knew that the antidote to the "Last Men" would be Donald J.

They also should WANT to do so. It's been 28 years since the USSR fell apart. Ukraine is the only one still fighting the Russians. We've been there long enough.Sam L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00996809377798862214noreply@blogger.com
