NATO is lost.

In one month the TSF Administration has thrown away decades of blood sweat and tears, the proudest claim of the American Republic, that we were prepared to put the U.S. homeland at risk of nuclear annihilation to keep Western Europe free.

And the man most responsible is Ronald Reagan. He doubled down on white racism (the Southern Strategy). He got into bed with 'Christian' misogynists. He was the 'might makes right' U.S. president

Mr. Gorbachev, do whatever the hell you want. You're gonna reap just what you sow.

US, China, Russia are dividing up the planet.

Trump thinks he is going to be a leading member of the new order,
that China and Russia like and respect him.

He may be mistaken on that point.

They know he is a loose cannon and not to be trusted.
And he will cross them at every turn.
