In reply to the discussion: The worst part of that speech for me was when he said that NATO has never and would never answer the call for the US [View all]popsdenver
(1,721 posts)28. I spent some time working
at a battered women shelter, and the battered women would all quote their husbands/boyfriends as saying:
If you don't say this or that, I won't have to beat you......it's all YOUR fault I do it...........
One of the counselors told me that most of the work is directed at the woman, who think they deserve it, just like their mothers who were also abused......She said if they can't get through the message that it is NOT them, but him, they will go right back into that relationship, or one similar, because that is what they have been conditioned to thinking/believing all their lives....

He's a psychopath. I'm unequivocal in that conclusion and he is in his exhibition of the support of my stance.

He is wrong, of course. The ONLY time NATO invoked Article 5 was immediately following 911.
