Yeah, it was late-war, when he was making all sorts of blunders. Of course you're welcome to disagree and I respect your opinions, but I think it's a pretty apt comparison, with how much Trump is fucking up with the Iran war, completely torpedoing oil shipping, plunging the Gulf states and Asia into instability, the way that GCC allies have been treated - basically as bullet sponges - while the US pulls missile interceptors from all over the world (incl. South Korea)... all for the benefit of Israel. With that and the US threatening to invade Greenland, I think will really cause NATO members to start reconsidering whether it's such a good idea to have the hundreds of US military bases within their borders.

Trump talks a big game about leaving NATO, but there's no shot he actually does it, and I don't think there's any chance of kicking the US out of NATO, so I think that just leaves the alternative of creating a new defensive military alliance with member states having their own nuclear stockpiles.

Of course, I could be wrong about everything, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
