> If elected, Trump will appoint loyalists to important positions who can deliver his vision. Meanwhile we are barely holding the line against Russia. So it would be nothing like his first term where he also had adults in the room to reign him in. That is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to dangers faced by the alliance.
Iran, China and India showing increasing belligerence and joining forces with Russia in arms production without facing any consequence whatsoever. Doesn’t bode well. European leaders have yet to internalize what is happening.
Ukraine lost territory the size of several European states, holding the line at great human cost while we run out of ammo.
Since December, Ukrainian forces have been rationed to ~2,000 heavy artillery shells a day, while the Russian fire rate is ~10k shells per day.
In contrast to what we are doing, Russian industry is now running 24/7, replenishing and expanding its forces.
NATO is good but we need a more federal Europe with its military industrial complex and European army to make it future proof and protect our territory as sovereign.
He aint wrong, were dealing with a new axes of evil with China, Russia, Iran and possible India trying to make a move.

… I could not find the third one .. remember something about tectonic plates too.
Of course an admiral is going to say that. Everything looks like a nail…
Expect the unexpected IN THE KINGDOM OF MADNESS
OUUUUUUHHHHHHH YEAAAHHHHHHHH
We really dropped the ball on Russia and Russian influence after 9/11, didn’t we? Should have already seen it coming with the Russo-Georgian War in 2008, but no. Too busy pulling all the resources into – soon to be – two pointless wars (geopolitically) and its aftermath.
