A telling snippet from Anne's conversation with Bill Kristol about Putin, Kim, Ji and the ayatollah:

And so now, [the dictators] are betting that Trump will be the person who destroys the United States, whether he makes it ungovernable, whether he assaults the institutions so that they no longer function, whether he creates so much division and chaos that the U.S. can’t have a foreign policy anymore. That’s what they want, and that’s what they’re hoping he will do.


There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.
– John Green, author

He almost gave Putin his most cherished prize, the breakup of NATO.

Almost.

Biden has expanded NATO and the other NATO members are taking steps to Trump-proof the alliance just in case.

You are such an idiot.

Trump made NATO stronger by forcing the deadbeat Europeans to ante up.

Well, that is not true. I have provided the Pentagon meeting to prove it.

NATO is not a pay to play deal.

Let see how much our NATO allies increased defense during Trump years? I doubt it will jive w your view.

Trump did call out the allies who are not living up to their promises.

NATO isn’t organically required to have certain defense levels…

But Trump running his mouth did Jack-all.

What got the members to take defense seriously was Putin’s aggression.

While Trump’s statements were an acknowledgment of the elephant in the room, which is more than Biden has done, it wasn’t particularly constructive.

I still think the EU members should be putting up more. An expansionist Russia is much more their issue than ours.

A lot of the NATO members are willingly joining in with some of China’s foreign policy. I really doubt that if we get in a conflict with China that our NATO allies will be as supportive of us as they have Ukraine.

That's what happens when literally everything you "know" about a subject you get directly from a pathological liar.
