It means he's sulking after nobody sent their troops to die in the Epstein War.

That’s not true at all. For example, Israel deployed thousands of US paratroopers and two carrier strike groups.

Good point. What are the chances Netanyahu visited Epstein Island?

Does not really matter, since Maxwell's father was heavily connected to Mossad, and the Epstein ring is widely rumored to have existed in order to collect blackmail on hundreds of top politicians, businessmen, etc. for Mossad. Hence the unyielding support for Israel by American politicians, in spite of constant genocidal activities by Israel (along with AIPAC money, of course).

Does that include the Battle of the Burning Bunks?

Blue States should announce they support NATO’s mission. That’s it, no material support and no contracts because that would violate the Constitution. But it would help undermine Trump’s legitimacy in representing America on the world stage.

Nothing. Because it would take a major vote by Congress to make it happen.

Like starting a war against Iran would require a vote by Congress?

That doesn’t require congressional approval. Atleast, not for 60 days. And if it’s not already covered by 9/11 pre-authorizations. The argument on that would be that Iran is a state sponsor of Islamic terrorist groups in the region, which they are annoyingly.

Leaving? Sure. Trump is the Commander In Chief though and could simply refuse to deploy any troops in a NATO situation.

They don't. The rest of the world stopped paying attention to anything that comes out of his mouth a long time ago. It's a crying baby with a gun. You don't care what the baby is trying to say, only that it has a gun.

Americans are unreliable, and you cant trust a word they say and that the US not even honors written contracts? and that noone should expect anything from the US, that doesnt allow them to grift on it? i mean that was known since the day Trump was reelected, and the US demonstrated that almost daily since his inauguration. unfortunately we come to a point where you cant just smile all of that away and hope that it wont be too bad... the decisions of Americans literally cost human lifes, not to mention all the economic damage done.

That they can expect several more years of complete bullshit and literally no help whatsoever from Mr. T.

He can talk all he wants he doesn't have to votes for that silly shit either.

> Trump also referenced Ukraine in the Telegraph, saying: "We've been there automatically, including Ukraine." But not really. Russia is supposed to be sanctioned to slow down their war machine. Yet Russia gives oil to Belarus who refines it for Russia. Literally the opposite of a sanction. Trump and Putin want Europe.

This is a Trump rerun, a stale maneuver he's done several times with presidential debates. He sees it as a power move as part of his art of the deal, to soften up the rules for him and make things easier so that he'll participate. This assumes everyone hasn't seen 10 plus years of stale Trump maneuvers and that they somehow don't see through the simpleton facade of his 'art of the deal' shenanigans.

It sucks, but it doesn't change anything. Eastern Europe would rather throw in with what's left than pivot to Russia, Europe wants to protect its flank, and Canada isn't going to abandon it. It's really just Trump signaling that he spent the Ukraine budget on Iran.

NATO isn’t an airport. He doesn’t need to announce his departure. Someone open a window so this bird can fly away.
