"I think that's over." Gen. McCaffrey on NATO

[DENVERPOPS]

44. That would be disastrous

that is exactly what Trump and Putin would love, then Trump wouldn't have to do it and take hits from all of us, as well as crap from the rest of the world....
There is nothing to be gained by NATO throwing out the U.S. per se. Trump has already started to pull all aid from Ukraine, he will soon pull all aid from NATO countries, esp in the ones adjacent to Russia. Let Trump be the bad guy.....

Same with demonstrations to a certain extent........He wants to have a reason to enable the "Insurrection Act" to mobilize the U.S. Military for use against the U.S. citizens, establish Marshall Law, and ignore the Posse Comatatus act.

I watched what happened to protestors in Russia, protesting Putin's declaring war on Ukraine. There was a group of maybe a three hundred demonstrators. The Russian Military, surrounded them, corralled them, put them on trucks and I assume they were "disappeared" for their acting out.
When Trump watched that, he probably came in his diaper, in envy of Putin, and wanting to have that kind of power here in the U.S......
