Europe disarmed and took a 30 year long peace dividend.
They should get a constant Trump like kick in the ass to prepare for war. Spend more on defense and less on social.
Otherwise the USA has to replace NATO will a slimmed down set of alliances.
^^^^^ What 12:30 said.
Biden is a disgrace, he will try his best to get us into a war with Russia, to try to save his floundering presidency. Totally selfish reason!
Still: he won the election by the most popular votes in any presidential election in American history.
Biden's election is showing Democrats are starting to win by election majorities found in North Korea, Iran and other sterling examples of Democracy.
The EU is not threatened by Russia, the hysteria about Ukraine is coming almost exclusively from Washington and it's vassals in the UK
Caecus. When has the Russian empire given up on expansion? WW1 and 1991 were setbacks, but when did Russia give up on expansion?
Russia extends west of Warsaw the capital of Poland and Caecoid is like no prob.
Biden's election is showing Democrats are starting to win by-election majorities found in North Korea, Iran and other sterling examples of Democracy.What does that really mean and if you are saying his election was not valid, then show us why 11 million more votes than Trump got was not legitimate. And, in passing, the 30 court cases all lost by those like you claiming fraud. Cases often won by Biden in courts run by Trump-appointed judges.
Why were ballots shredded by the FBI? Why is the video for the State Farm Center in Atlanta missing. These are not the actions of upright people. I have some experience with machine reading of documents and characters.
Explain how Ruby Freeman ran and reran the same containers over and over. Pepel who work with computer software, computer hardware, factory automation et are having fits over the way ballots are counted. But girlie boy never worked in a factory.
You have to wonder if the wanker ever had records retention training mandated by the federal government, state government or other organization. Probably cheated or had the secretary pass the test for him.
Judges have been known to be partisan or cowardly. Court cases are still being fought. Democrats are fighting against voter ID requirements which most if not all of Europe has. Socialists always tell us to do things more like Europe, but now all of the sudden they do not want to.
Cute move for our great allies
