“I was never swayed by NATO. I always knew they were a paper tiger, and Putin knows that too, by the way,” he said, in comments published Wednesday.
How’s that three day ‘special operation’ going? You should ask him the next time you call him. In his published comments on Wednesday, Trump again rebuked the U.K., suggesting that the country’s Royal Navy was inadequate.
" You don’t even have a navy. You’re too old and had aircraft carriers that didn’t work," he said.
My conservative neighbor said last week “when did he say he wanted us to leave NATO? He just wants them to pay their fair share!!”
Then when he actually does leave NATO and your neighbor gets the updated talking points: “it’s good that he left NATO”
I believe he already thinks that, something like “we don’t need them“. What I have asked him is who he thinks would benefit from the US leaving NATO. The US? No. Europe? No. Russia, China? Yes. Iran? Yes. So why would we be doing that?
The Republican national sport appears to be goalpost moving.
Sorry I couldn’t find an NFL one.
The real reason mainstream media is so unwilling to condemn rightwing nonsense is that it’d break modern physics: Rightwing goalposts constitute a perpetual motion machine. It’s a global conspiracy by Big Thermodynamics.
