https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/27/politics/trump-nato-contribution-nato/index.htmlAnother win for Putin. The US really is controlled by Russia now. I don't think we can survive until 2020 elections at this rate.

It was illegal for Trump to withhold aid to Ukraine. He did it anyway.
It's illegal for him to withhold aid from Lebanon. He did it anyway.
Now he's going to cut back NATO without Congress and probably get away with it again.

Especially if Dump steals the 2020 election.
New England, NY and CA will be the first to go.
New England and NY are ready made Canadian provinces.
CA is its own country.
