I am soon 53, and this never ending hate between so many people over these last few years is the sadest thing to happen in my lifetime. While I have always thought that the EU should streamline more, and I also support talking about issues that need to be solved, what is happening now is something else. I support Trump when he says that Europe must take more care of its own defense, that is fair. What do not support is an environment in which there is so much animosity that one no longer can say anything, however moderate, out of fear of being mowed down in now man's land.

Demanding NATO countries pay more for their own defense is the only thing I agree with Trump on. It's good for them and I'm sure they see that now with Russia rattling sabers at them all.

We need to continue pointing out every chance we get that the billionaires are behind all of our problems. They work every day, using their power to antagonize us, set us against each other, distract us, and gaslight us.

No war but the class war.

    Your entire post is just contradictions after contradictions.

    NATO is nothing but a tool for the US to project power and to subjugate non-western aligned countries into submission. There has never been a case where NATO was defensive, only offensive. Not to mention the entire NATO leadership during its founding were all high-ranking NAZI officials.

    The very uneven distribution of wealth is something that I living in Europe also think is a problem in the US. But US voters must decide this. What I think is natural may not be what they are used to, and if they cannot sell this argument in the US there is nothing i can do about it? It is not a war. They simply must convince people that they must look at how economic policies affect themselves, and not so much about other things. If this is implemented, will I be better off etc
