USA Politics

Trump may not be able to pull the U.S. out of NATO on his own, but his overall stance is already sending a signal. There is growing doubt that the US would act decisively against russia.

Under Trump, the risk that putin might test NATO’s resolve increased significantly. Seeing all of Trump’s shenanigans, putin might consider targeting NATO’s eastern flank. That would be a moment of truth - not only for us in the Baltic states, but for all of Europe. Will it act?

Half measures against tyrants don’t work.
 
Yes, this is a typical reaction: many promise to wait for the facts, but only choose those that confirm their own beliefs. It seems as if real analysis is important, but in reality it is selective truth to support a favorite position. Politics in action.
 
The one "good" thing about the utter shitshow that the second Trump admin is, is that Europe, Canada and other nations and groups of nations are reevaluating their commitments to each other, and are creating new alliances. We simply can't trust the US anymore. Even if the next president is a Democrat again, and they try to mend a lot of the damage that Trump caused, we simply can't trust that a third of the population won't vote for another fascist dismantling everything, while a large part of the population sits out the election (or depending on the shenanigans of the GOP won't be eligible to vote in the first place).
