    Xi Jinping is literally, actually in the fucking White House, right now, and Trump just spent the last week telling Ukraine to stop attacking Russian fuel.

    It would be war and they’ve got a pretty good chance of winning since they’ve already defeated NATO’s largest force.

        Correct. Russia and China have effectively defeated the USA portion of NATO because I truly believe Trump and the GOP would refuse summons from an Article 5.

        Russia and China are the reason Trump is president.

          Maybe. Trump’s power is waning, and it’s hard to predict exactly what he would do anyway. It’s likely democrats will control congress next year and can send aid. If Europe can hold out until 2029, a different president might be more willing to provide active support.

            With 53 GOP senators Trump is all powerful in the USA. They already purged the military generals and the rest of the federal government employees.

            Resistance is coming from local and state levels which means fuck all for NATO.
