Putin’s investment is paying off

[Tiny Hands Trump]

"Being world police is bankrupting us"

Signed,
The party responsible for Iraq and Afghanistan, and cutting taxes for 50 years while increasing spending.

The end result of MAGA's new love of isolationism is going to be everyone else developing nuclear weapons. They won't trust that America has their back, so the only real solution is building nukes of their own.

Which is funny considering the angst they have with Iran developing a bomb.

The parallels between isolationism in the US pre-WW2 (with the aid of propaganda sponsored by Germany) and now (with aid of propaganda sponsored by Russia) is striking.

Trump is right. It's bankrupting our country trying to be policeman of the world. As far as Nato is concerned, it's members had to be threatened so they would meet the minimum military spending required by its charter when Trump was POTUS.
Nato countries have been playing US taxpayers for suckers for decades. The only exception was the four years Trump was POTUS. The USA spends trillions on its war budget so Europe can spend their taxes on general welfare.

Your post/like ratio says it all.

Yep, it took Pearl Harbor to wake up the country then. Roosevelt knew how terrible it was in Europe and did all he could to supply Britain inspite of Congress. Now we are in opposite land.

They don’t love isolationism, they love Trump.

 

[TC Nole OX]

The best part of the "America First" morons is they have some fantasy that if we just step back and watch the world burn there will be 0 blowback in America. Things will just continue on, minus spending defense money elsewhere.

When it happens, they will blame democrats

 

[Chishawk1425]

They don’t love isolationism, they love Trump.

Point taken, they'd go with whatever he said yes, but all the America First shit is beyond nauseating at this point. But yes, aka Whatever the Orange Fuehrer says.

 

[mthawkeyes]

Exhibit A: Vote down funding to support Ukraine, blame Biden for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Exhibit B: Biden isn't doing enough to defend against Iran. (Biden launches attacks against Iranian-funded militants.) Now Biden is warmongering.

Can someone in this thread explain why the EU, with its larger population and economy, has to be a ward of the United States?

Why is nuclear armed, larger, richer Europe forced to rely on the U.S. for defense from a nation that 1/3rd their size in population, with an economy not even 1/10th the size of theirs?

Why is that entity in desperate need of our help?

If they can’t take care of themselves (a larger, richer country than ours!), who can?

What’s the argument for letting them keep their welfare states, while we subsidize their defense, when they have a larger economy than we do?

Because as an alliance we are unconquerable. Individually not so much. Enemies of our enemies are our friends.

Yep - it gives our enemies a moment of pause to understand if they attack one, they attack all.

It’s got to fit on a bumper sticker or @Masterprime cant understand it.

“He has an advantage on me. He can express everything he knows on subjects in 140 characters. I can't.”

— George Will on Trump

 

[CarolinaHawkeye]

If you don’t think that Europe is paying its fair share, you begin the process to terminate the NATO treaty.

You don’t announce your plans to support Putin and to commit treason.

He's already committed treason and magats are sucking the shit out of his asshole.

Guys on this site legit already do this. On many topics.

Board R - Inflation is on Biden.
I point out a R congresswoman accuses Biden, after capping insulin cost, will want to cap food costs.
Board R - You’re saying the government should dictate prices corporations charge for their products??
Board R - Inflation is on Biden.


I can’t help people who don’t want to be helped.

The payback for 75 years of stability in Europe has been tremendous for the US.

 

[lucas80]

One of the funny/sad things about this is nobody even bothers to point out that he's lying about his conversations with European leaders. It's all fantasy projection. He's the tough guy laying down the law to the wimps.

Another King of Norway, rake the forest floor conversation, that never happened, Lying Donnie Sexual Abuser made up?

And they didn't have to worry about that until trump came along.

 

[Franisdaman]

This is coming from a guy who is notorious for skipping out on paying his bills

Let Russia do whatever the hell they want TO Trump then.

 

[globalhawk]

Yeah. That's how it works.

Lying Donnie Sexual Abuser = Putin's lapdog. Been that way for over eight years. He loves him some dictators.

What's he talking about? Like Tucker, many in the GOP see Putin as a friend, a kindred spirit to be admired, not an enemy deserving of contempt. That's how their leader sees him.

 

[sabula]

I guess most of the world sees a murderous, invading dictator. Kind of tough to miss that one.

Who do you think will get contracts to rebuild the country. You are just not very good at this.

Loans require payments. The Ukrainian gov could decide to not rebuild, or pick whoever.

You want to bet on the good will of a guy who could be immediately killed in Eastern block politics picking us to rebuild his country and I want to bet on the contract language of a loan.


I'm not impressed with your intelligence either.

You honestly think they Ukraine wouldn't keep their commitment with the US? You are naive. They will still depend on this country. The USA will get a majority of those contracts. You are seriously slow.

It would be the government not the President making the contracts. You are slow. They could also just not repay the loan.

Seriously f that guy. He actually used to have shreds of dignity, especially on foreign policy. Now he just sucks Trump’s farts like the rest of em.

You think they are going to honor their word but will casually discuss them skipping a loan......


EL OH EL.
