Even before Trump has been inaugurated, he has managed to drive the US so far off course, Putin’s propaganda medium RT is using his behavior to portray The Kremlin as the moderates in comparison.

Trump is a serious danger to world security, and the sooner Europe realizes the US is paralyzed for the foreseeable future, the sooner we can organize the democratic countries to stop Putin ourselves.

NATO minus 1 is still vastly more powerful than the country which cannot defeat Ukraine.

Andrzej Stamburski

@randahl I would like to add a point of view that is kind of forgotten in this context.
Trump pulling USA out of NATO or even better, Trump causing military conflict between USA and other NATO country is a dream scenario for China (not necessarily for Russia) China already started sending messages that their conflict with USA should not worsen their relations with the EU.
Just imagine, USA taking Greenland and China standing on the EU side.

@randahl Imagine, in case of conflict between the EU and the USA, China offers to stop Russia (they can easily do; without all the goods coming from China, Russia will collapse) just for the promise to give them free hand in Asia. Terrible choice and I hope it will never happen, but remember, Churchill agreed to cooperate with USSR...

Even RTS video games about global conflicts never dared to explore such a scenario 🤣
Not that I want to see it unfold in reality of course 😨
