Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning updated in OP 12/2/26

TSA was created in response to 9/11, it wasn't in place on that day

So what happens if Russia attacks NATO country, even a minor one like Estonia. Will Trump agree to defend one of the 'cowards'. Things becoming even more problematic imo.

Well, he's breaking a treaty that's stood for 70 years and is held in high regard by the Republican party. They know this war is a diversionary tactic by Trump and I imagine quite a lot of them are very close to the red line they won't cross. Congress won't tolerate reneging on NATO, especially after 9/11 when Europe answered Americas call.

China is a totalitarian tyranny but the Uighurs are not a foreign policy issue for China. They are within China’s borders. I certainly don’t want Taiwan to fall into China’s hands but their claim on the territory is strong and it has always been viewed as an internal matter by them, being raised as far back as when Kissinger went to China. It’s certainly not the same as attacking a country in the Middle East.

The Chinese fishing fleet is a global concern. China’s rise is deeply worrying in many ways but I feel I can no longer trust the US to defend the cause of freedom given Trump’s predatory behaviour since he returned to office.

That really is good news for Donald. They'll more likely believe this is all Biden's fault.

The Americas are one big annexation.

hold on there now,

You mean that the Chinese,

Aren’t “ a great bunch of lads” …..

captain bone spurs calling nato cowards.
Trump won’t even visit the Ukraine.

A bit of a long read, but, some very good points raised that I find hard to disagree with.

47 will be the number of felony charges he will have by the end. Already on 34 I think from last time …. and he wasn’t really trying then.

100s of non-American NATO troops died while fighting America's war on Iraq and that assh*le now calls NATO cowards. The diplomats of the next Democratic administration will have to work overtime to try to repair the damage he has done to America's relationship with its allies.

I don't think anything has changed?

It has been clear for most of the last year that if Russia did go mad and attack a European NATO member (or perhaps one of the increasingly risky grey zone operations they do inside the EU goes "wrong" and kills a lot of civilians + requires a response) Trump will leave them twisting in the wind if he can.

For me there was a question over whether the US system + the rest of government would actually allow him to do that (welch on their "allies") but I think the way they have let all the unprecedented + dangerous shít the Trump admin. has been doing fly is putting that to bed.
