re: #25 Dr Lizardo

Looks like President Oompa-Loompa has a nifty new idea:

Basically, Trump views NATO as nothing more than a protection racket: he’s a wannabe Don Corleone, but without the wisdom and solid instincts that made Vito Corleone such a successful (fictitious) mobster.

This is exactly what would’ve happened if Fredo had taken over the Corleone crime family……and it’s Fredo’s all the way down.

Like I said the other day, if you wish not to default to “He’s a Russian agent,” you could see this as a conman thinking he can extort money out of marks. But he doesn’t quite get that our allies don’t see themselves as marks and may finally be forced to bow to domestic pressure to demand we remove our forces from their territory.
