What a heartwarming story! It has all my favorite characters - arrogant Eurotards, feckless diplomats, mediaocrities, a potential prodigal son, and the Biggest, Baddest, Bestest, Orangest and Most Transformative President America has had and may ever have. And Trumpenfreud, lots and lots of Trumpenfreud. They all made and will pay for the foolishness of their actions - never bet against Donald J. Trump.

Europe has coasted for far too long on the American taxpayer & NATO, the latter which has long outlived its usefulness & should have been scrapped when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. The Soviet NATO equivalent The Warsaw Pact was dissolved so why is NATO still hanging around? To quote Col Douglas MacGregor, USA, Ret., it’s become a “wayward jobs program for unemployed generals.” And - more importantly- why do U.S. Presidents - all sans Trump - continue to shove NATO eastward right up to the Russian border? Arrogance & hubris IMHO, Russia’s just “a giant gas station pretending to be a country” according to the late John McStain. This illustrates a very myopic & hubristic view that is - unfortunately- all too well reflected in the DC ruling class.

Post Soviet collapse why is Russia still treated like an enemy? Why the constant banging on the drum for war from the neocons/globalists? This is dangerous territory. They don’t think these things through. The other day a neighbor (native born Pole) remarked in passing ”we need to get Putin out of there” to which I responded “how/with what/are you cool with starting WWIII?” He had no answer of course & changed the subject.

The irony inherent is that DC is full of “think tanks” & thinking things through isn’t the last thing they do, it’s not even on the syllabus.
