NATO has proven itself to be a very, very big liability.

By Trump's second year he was demanding they pay their fair share and carry their weight. THEY DID NOTHING UNTIL THE 3rd DAY OF UKRAINE'S INVASION!!!

Trump warned Merkel that her dependence on Russia energy was a great liability. SHE DID NOTHING!!!

Now they care? Because Daddy Warbucks (aka Uncle Sam) might walk away because their welfare state benefits were more important!?!? Good. Make them sweat it.

 

[as seen on tv]

Trump spent 4 years trashing NATO and the EU for Putin.

NATO and the rest of us didn't expect a world-wide rightwing movement towards autocracy and against democracy.

Those 63 repubs are Putin/trumpies.

Reagan bumped DoD spending by a lot...it was unsustainable. Dick Cheney worked for George HW Bush in cutting the size of the military and Congress established the Base Realignment and Closing commission....(BRAC). We had 2.06 active duty military in 1990. There were 1.4 million by 9/11. We were at 1.3 million active duty by the end of 2017...and that is about how many we have today.

Trump made a big deal out of the "Space Force"....but that just moved Air Force personnel around. No change in manpower.

Unlimited illegal immigration? Would you like ice in that koolaid?

It it were unlimited then there would be no detentions and no deportations.

The GOP is the party of Putin.

Nope.... just the 63 republicans. Biden's name is not on that list. And if he was voting on it he wouldn't be voting for Putin's side.

Waaaa... can't twist myself into a big enough pretzel to argue that the (D)s are the ones dropping the ball Waaaa....

Dem control of what? Why would you encourage anyone to vote against support for NATO?

We do not control NATO. Biden is doing his best to unite the organization, but still getting a lot of pushback from them. How in hell do you think our own republican party dismissing NATO (as did Trump) is a good idea? It gives anti-NATO voices in Europe the very argument needed to discourage additional support for Ukraine.

We should be standing as one and not allowing ourselves to be divided into political camps by the kind of crap we see today.

That just might be the same Republican list of QAnon and white nationalists in their party.

I don't think it's a good idea. I do however think that currently NATO is a complete and utter waste.

So why are you and everybody else pointing at Trump, who is no longer the president, and wields no real power other than bluster and waste of breath. Why don't you go call that out as divisive? Kind of odd that you only point one way, and in the same breath call for unity

Nah - there are far moore kooks and racists in the GOP than that. Heck - that was only 63 of them.

Why? Because Trump still refuses to condemn Putin. Republicans continue to claim Putin would not have invaded for fear of Trump. Republicans continue to argue that it is all Biden's fault that Ukrainians are being murdered...and not Putin, as if Putin were actually telling the truth that Russia was threatened by Ukraine.

That is why. Right wingers need to realize the facts...criticizing Trump is divisive to you, but criticizing Biden and saying he's done nothing at all to help Ukraine contributes what to the conversation?

I've encouraged any one here to contact the White House and their congressmen and senators...I want more to be done. Biden is bound by the need to gather support from both parties as well as the governments around the world.

See there's the issue, where did I say Biden's done nothing at all? If only you could stick to the reality of the conversation instead of exaggeration then there'd be a conversation to move forward on

Is it necessary for you to make your point to insert claims that weren't made? How does that contribute to the conversation? It doesn't. Just like continually and incessantly pointing at Trump when his administration is long gone doesn't.
