@Liveuamap An alternative view is that NATO nations will circle the wagons and move forward without the US. In my opinion, this may be the best thing to happen for NATO in a long time.
@McFaul I don't recall seeing that Marx stated that it should be the government, unless the proletariat means government. BTW, Russia is as close to socialist as Trump is to democratic.
@McFaul Fox News ready to give Trump Nobel Peace Prize for ending the war in Ukraine. If European leaders push for immediate ceasefire before negotiating, Trump is going to blame them for the war. Putin will just whisper sweet nothings in Trumps ear.
@McFaul I think we mistakenly attribute a high degree of tradecraft to Putin's negotiating abilities. Trump's ignorance, need for affirmation, desire to portray strength and be perceived as a winner make it easy to manipulate him.
@McFaul Trump wants to detract our attention from his idiotic Finance Bill and immigration fiasco. Wars are always a go to distraction, so why not fabricate one against woke California?
@McFaul Now I hear a new rationale from a idiotic Trump supporter. Almost every country in the world has a VAT, and the 10% tariff is like the US version of a VAT!
@McFaul He can give all the concessions he wants, Ukraine decides. ROW needs to step up, support Ukraine and relegate Trump to the sidelines where he belongs.
@McFaul How long will everyone think that the current US is a champion of democracy in the world when the president elect verbally attacks allies and tries to emulate Russia and other authoritarian regimes? It is Trump who is the enemy from within.
