re: #631 Big Beautiful Door

Lets look at this realistically. Russia is a poor country, and its military is severely depleted from the days of the Soviet Union. Did you see the photos of their flagship bellowing smoke? Poland is a huge country, and Russia would wreck itself trying to control it. Trump isn’t going to dissolve NATO; the Republicans around him support it, and he has little interest in actual policy. Quit fantasizing about bizarre scenarios.

The Republicans took out of their platform the condemnation of Russia for its invasion of Ukraine and seizure of Crimea.

They seem quite incurious about a person who has several people in his campaign staff with direct ties to Russia. (Note with Jill Stein, General Flynn was also at Russia Today’s XX anniversary party - the photo is available on Stein’s campaign Website).

When a nation is doing poorly, one way to get its people to ignore what is happening is an external threat. Invasions of Georgia, Ukraine, Syria, &c seem to fit right in with that.

Do you think the future President Trump is going to give a damn if NATO members in the Baltics are invaded? They have been asking for assurances and Congress has been blowing them off.
