33. My thoughts exactly. This is absolute insanity, but here we are. It seems far too plausible.

And I agree with you on the EU vs. NATO part. The EU would seem to have more of a common cause against the U.S.; while NATO has really been fashioned more to support the U.S. if things hit the fan internationally. I doubt NATO has ever even thought about what would happen if the U.S. was the thing that hit the fan....

And yes, at this point we have alienated Canada in so many ways I can't see them being truly on our side in a conflict.

And again...OMFG that any of this should even have to be considered!
