Rand Paul Trump NATO Montenegro

Iraq turned into a huge money-sucking pit, as I’m sure any conflict in Montenegro would. Strategically I’m not sure what we gained from Iraq, or what we gain from Montenegro in the EU.

My dislike of Trump, is not, for the most part, policy based, it is character based, what he says and how he says it.

Problem is-for us anyhow-a federated EU without the power we have basically running NATO could displace us as the world’s hyperpower.

Yep… the US can say bye bye to projecting world wide power

Ah, for the days of leafing through a Cyberpunk 2020 book in the mid 90s and laughing at the idea of a European superpower. Not so funny in 2018, ironically.

Amazing how quickly Trump upended DECADES of Republican ideology in a few short months.

Better Europe than Russia or China.

Russia and China are already emerging more than the EU.

The EU asked the US if they could do business with Iran and were told no so they didn’t. Russia and China said we will do business with you. We will invest in you and buy oil from you.

When I said:

That was my hope, not my expectation.
