I remember hearing someone arguing against nuclear disarmorment because of the number of jobs that would be lost and the damage it would do to the economy. The cartoon above is no joke.Is there profiteering in nuclear war?

At some point we need to come to terms that it isn't through incompetency. He aligns with Russian interests and no one else's for it to be simple incompetence.
Makes me think of the ilk that kept the United States out of the League of Nations and then out of WW2 until the very last second. So much loss could've been avoided...There is if you build the nukes.
Getting the US out of NATO or the UN is an old far-right nationalist meme. I used to drive by this one house on a busy street that had a 10 foot high sign in the front yard that said "Get the US out of the UN!" Yeah, his house got re-zoned and torn down last year for a commercial development. Maybe he shouldal've paid attention to what really mattered to him instead of paranoid conspiracies.
So he's been in Russia's pocket for a long time then. Normal Americans would never propose such a joke.Trump's position on NATO should have been well known, he talked about it a lot before he was elected.
How is it news today?

At an absolute minimum, Trump is a Russian ASSET doing his best that he can get away with to destabilize the USA and NATO.
And at an absolute minimum, the Republican Party and Trump voters are willing co-conspirators; willing to go along with everything Trump does because they think it'll hurt the "other" folks.
As Arthur Conan Doyle wrote by means of his alter-ego Sherlock Holmes over a century ago.. "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
Yeah, maybe we can just vote for Putin next time.So he's been in Russia's pocket for a long time then. Normal Americans would never propose such a joke.

He also doesn't know NATO came to our aid after 9/11 per Article 5. 1st time in NATO's historyYep. If American troops had gone to France in April 1940 before Germany invaded it could have been shortened by years. Actually WWI would have been much shorter too if we hadn't waited.
Unfortunately DOTUS has never cracked a history book, so is completely unaware that American troops in Europe saves lives (and money) in the long run. Not to mention the real possibility of widespread war in Europe going nuclear.
Mattis has virtually said as much about this, making specific point of how he tried to impress upon Trump the critical importance of NATO.
Here's an interesting tidbit:https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news...ggests-montenegro-could-cause-world-war-three
That is straight-up Russian fabricated propaganda that made it to his brain enough to work it's way into active politics. Montenegro joined NATO in 2017. Remember the guy Trump pushed out of the way to get to the front of the NATO summit? That was Montenegro's PM.
If a Russian plant has Trump's ear, it seems gossip about NATO not meeting their commitments forcing the US into a bad deal and trying to admit as member nation the next spark of WW3 would be quite effective. Now, that's conspirational thinking I admit. But if this isn't how Trump got these insane ideas, that still leaves us explaining insanity somehow.
Even better, if the U.S. has been part of the League Of Nations and lent their muscle - even if as just potential muscle - Hitler might never have started the rounds of invasions, as knowing the U.S. coming in against Germany would be enough to guarantee defeat.Yep.

I think a lot of folks don't get how much war and misery the United Nations have prevented. It's far from imperfect but it's so, so much better than nothing.
