I agree with you. That’s one of the creepiest things about Trump.
One of the great ironies of who is President in the US, has nothing to do with foreigners, is that it affects them way more than it will affect the US, who are an ocean apart.
Ukraine is screwed and with North Korea joining Putin we have to hope that Eastern Europe is not attacked or Taiwan.

Negative. Why continue to piss off the Russians? We had treaty where we promised NATO wouldn’t encroach that far into Europe, but we did.
We pulled out of the ABM Treaty under Bush, and get pissed when Putin does something he shouldn’t.
What have we gained?

What is a continuation of the current policy going to wind up doing other than, after Ukraine runs out of people, Russia having a border with Poland? But I understand Ukraine is willing to accept foreign volunteers.
15 weeks is my compromise position. … With the exceptions.

Why? So do most if not all of European counties.
And rest your heart … Trump saying Un is very smart or voicing admiration for Putin’s leadership does not mean he is allied with them. That’s just inherent in Trump’s manner of speaking. And as far as Erdoğan is concerned, Turkey is a member of NATO.
Except when it’s convenient. 
yes, with exceptions.
My prediction is that many leftist idiots will have a hard time coping.
They’ve all used the language of their captors to imprison themselves and try to imprison others.
Iraq 2003 ring a bell?
That’s similar to Germany’s laws and that’s what I’ve always thought was the best compromise between two positions that are diametrically opposed.
Actually there was never anything put on paper. In 1990 the German Chancellor and the US Secretary of State (neither of whom had any authority to make promises) hinted to Gorbachev that there was a possibility that NATO wouldn’t expand past a reunified Germany. But we never put in anything in writing and we never promised them anything. The only thing we definitely agreed to at that time was that we wouldn’t deploy nuclear weapons in the former east Germany and by extension east of the former East Germany.
However even that wasn’t put into any of the post Soviet treaties or late Soviet-US agreements. It was more or less a handshake agreement that depended on both sides observing the new status quo, which was that Russia would not encroach on all the new post Soviet states too openly and we wouldn’t interfere in internal Russian affairs. Russia decided to throw the status quo out the window in 2022. So if we started deploying nuclear weapons east of Germany right now the Russians would have no one to blame but themselves for it.

Weren’t US troops in Nigeria not too long ago? And that was a total break down of prior US policy. After the whole Mogadishu incident in the 1990s, the US sort of decided we wouldn’t put infantry in Africa anymore but solely work with internal partners there. That went out of the window.

My favorite lyrics being, “I’ve crossed the deserts bare, man.”
And, “I’ve breathed the mountain air, man.”
