I think they would say they had no choice but to fight off a foreign invader.  But the Russians had a choice and made the wrong one.  Who knows, it may have even affected your friends and family there....

So, under the lefts twisted version of truth, you support Ukraine is a support for neo-nazis then.

witty!  at least half way.

 

but your side keeps saying this whole neo nazi movement is tiny and insignificant even tho there appear to be several in residence here.  There are more than a few in Europe too- https://www.vice.com/en/article/v7bnja/neo-nazi-music-shows-return-to-europe.

 

Ukraine has bigger problems, namely murderous russians.

Translate what he said? 

 

 

I don't have to translate - Here is what he said -

 

"I came in, I made a speech, and they said you got to pay up. They asked me that question. One of the presidents of a big country stood up said, 'Well, sir, if we don't pay and we're attacked by Russia, will you protect us?' I said 'you didn't pay your delinquent?' He said, 'Yes, let's say that happened.' 'No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay; you got to pay your bills.' And the money came flowing in."

here's what you and orange man don't understand (from a CNN editorial):

 

As with much foreign policy, the Republican frontrunner radically misunderstood the nature and purpose of this relationship. NATO is not an alliance based on dues: it is the largest military bloc in history, formed to face down the Soviet threat, based on the collective defense that an attack on one is an attack on all – a principle enshrined in Article 5 of NATO’s founding treaty.

It’s purpose which suits the US profoundly: The White House invoked Article 5 after 9/11. And since NATO’s creation, US might has been often packaged globally as the expression of a dozens-strong consensus. NATO helps bolster the US’s ebbing position as the sole hyperpower. Strip away this vast alliance, and its diplomatic and economic might, and the US looks quite lonely on the world stage.

In short, the US will almost certainly always spend much more than anyone else on its military, regardless of its allies. NATO gives it a global bedrock of legitimacy, support for the dollar, and the post-Soviet hegemony it thrives upon.

Oh we understand. The NATO allies all want the perks and protection from the treaty but when it comes to actually investing in it, not so much.

And in fact after Trump said that the NATO allies decided they would pony up their fair share. Funny how that worked out, ain't it ?

Yup.  That was Trump "trying to destroy NATO."  By making everyone pay more into it.

Logic isn't a strong suit of the left.  How could it be?  Most of what they believe is based denial of reality.  In this case not understanding the concept of conditional logic.  If, Then, Else.

Trump has a history of wanting to pull the US out of NATO. When he knew he politically couldn't do that (during his first term) - he decided to embarrass our allies about their dues.

You should concern yourself with the fact that almost every intervention run out of Washington have been failures.  And do some objective thinking about why?  The fact in this situation is nobody appeased Russia.  If I'm wrong tell me who is appeasing them?  My belief that the Washington uni-party screws up everything it touches doesn't mean I'm an isolationist or an appeaser.  It means I think the people making the decisions are idiots.   

 

Unfortunately this is another failure.  As for all intents and purposes the war in Ukraine is already over.  You'll figure that out eventually.

This is what you said: 

It was an ill-considered, unnecessary, almost flippant comment deeply criticizing our best ally and only democracy in the region, a region a spark away from conflagration.

 

 

 

I'd say the exact same thing now. It was senseless, and he has no way of knowing what he was talking about.

Glad he wasn't calling troops losers and suckers 

 

I spent a little time looking at the evidence of this.

It seems there really isn't any.

The man says enough goofy stuff, but I think this is fiction.

 

Either way it is completely unrelated to judging one of our greatest allies actions as being indiscriminate; actions he is incapable of knowing the details about.

Ya, sure he didn't say it. 

 

You saying General Kelly is liar? 

 

No one who thinks that way about American servicemen and women should be President

 

Those defending this guy are twisted individuals

What’s worse- embarrassing our allies, or blowing up their oil pipeline? 😎
