Doing nothing is better than enacting disastrous policies to support endless wars and woke causes to the tune of trillions of dollars.  Not a sustainable policy.  "Europe" and others who have been dependent on US handouts for decades will also eventually have to abandon their socialist policies and start paying their own way - or learn Russian or Chinese.

Than do nothing for two years and see how the voters will feel about that. The status quo only means that current laws remain in place and everything continues as it did, including the "endless wars and woke causes".

What's with this constant "Europe" BS? Do you think that continent isn't real and doesn't exist?

And for what exactly has Europe "been dependent on US handouts for decades"?

will also eventually have to abandon their socialist policies and start paying their own way   

You clearly haven't got a clue what socialism really is or, if you do know what it means, you clearly don't know the first thing about Europe.

The US has paid trillions to defend "Europe" since the end of WWII.  That has allowed "Europe" to create socialist states because the US protects them and pays for their defense from Russia and others.  Contrary to common sense and the interest of US citizens, the US politicians actually want to pay for "Europe's" defense because that allows them access and control billions of dollars each year which they can allocate to the lobbyists who then support their campaigns and enrich their relatives.  A vicious circle of corruption in which everyone benefits except the US taxpayer.

So many words and nothing that makes any sense.

Really? And how are that "handouts" that European countries depended on?

And of course, none of this this would have had nothing to do with US nukes being placed in European countries to be able to strike faster against the Soviets in defense of the US, right?

That has allowed "Europe" to create socialist states

Which countries in Europe are socialist states?

Contrary to common sense

I don't think common sense has anything to do with what you say..

It doesn't surprise me that someone who allegedly lives in "Europe" is supportive of endless US defense spending to protect their country.  That is an understandable position.  Trump is the only US President in modern history who tried to change that by actually asking the "Europeans" to contribute at least something to their own defense and the US political establishment went nuts.  They want to control the funding and direct it to the corrupt lobbyists who kick it back to them and their relatives.  Almost every politician in a position of power in the US is a multimillionaire despite being a career government employee.  Many of their relatives are multimillionaires.  But nothing to see there.  The good times just keep on rolling for the establishment.  Endless war is big business.  They control the laws and the money.  So things will have to hit rock bottom before there is any change.

It doesn't surprise me that once again you have to make up stuff in order to somehow make an idiotic point! Where exactly did it express support for that?

BS... Trump insisted that each NATO member should actually pay their part in full, which is something that at that moment wasn't happening. NATO doesn't exist exclusively for the protection of Europe. 

You forgot to mention which countries in Europe are socialist, like I asked you to do. Why is that? Can't think of any?

Will the FBI be staging a land, sea, and air raid on Biden's home now that it has been confirmed that he left classified documents at his private office after leaving as VP?  HA HA HA.  You can't make that up.  Old Joe pontificated for days about how reckless it was for Trump to have classified documents in his home.  Imagine if you searched the archives and libraries and homes of every former president?  There would be classified documents in every one of them.  "Classified" is a broad and ambiguous legal term as used here.

"When is the FBI going to raid the many homes of Joe Biden, perhaps even the White House?" posted the whinny leader of the Party of Greivances. The Donald apparently begrudges the homes of people who weren't born into wealth.

The entitled Trump and today's GOP expect to be given a pass.

According to Biden and the Dems it was reckless and a crime for Trump to have classified documents at his home.  They staged a raid like he was a terrorist using even boats in case he tried to swim for it.  That is the standard set by the Dems in these situations.  Or are there two standards of justice depending upon the political affiliation of the person involved?  And imagine that we are supposed to believe they only suddenly became aware of this on the day before the midterm elections and then kept it covered up for two months.  How fortunate it didn't come to light before the election. 

Trump was impeached for asking Ukraine to look into Hunter's criminal conduct.  That was deemed an impeachable offence as seeking the involvement of a foreign government in an election.  Old Joe goes to Saudia Arabia just before the midterms and begs them on his bony old man knees not to cut oil production until after the election and - nothing.   The erosion of trust in the legal system is just another in a list of entities in which the public has lost trust.  And for good reason.  Completely corrupt and biased.
