The only one in the US Senate with a brain. Sad
Yes. He was the only Senator who on January 6 realized that they should all run for their lives.
This would mean that if the Ruskies decide to attack/invade Finland everybody in NATO will have to chime in together and go to war.
Yes. That’s right. That’s how collective security works. Look at Europe during 1935 through 1938 to see how well not having collective security works. Countries are taken out one at a time. Easy Peasy. Well, if a large country has a somewhat competent military. But there is no guarantee that Russia won’t eventually develop one.
If we and the other NATO countries withdraw from NATO, Russia will inevitably overrun Finland, Sweden, the Baltic States, Poland, Germany, etc.
But some Americans would like to see that happen. I think some of these people are members of this forum. And why not? If America needs to become taken over by Authoritarianism, why not Europe as well?
The USA has the weakest/most pitiful military in it's recent history.
The pull out from Afghanistan demonstrated the incompetence mentioned.
Demonstrates the weakest of Afghanistan’s former military, not ours.
The USA has the weakest/most pitiful military in recent history? Let me see here. I think I can think of a weaker one. It’s right on the tip of my tongue. Oh yes, Russia. We send a handful of HIMARS to Ukraine and the Russian military can’t seem to deal with them. Their ammunition dumps, command centers and other targets just blow up and the Russians can’t counter this.
Ah, you mean America is weaker, compared to previous years. Well, if with a minimum of effort, we can send a few weapons that stimy the Russians in Ukraine, I don’t think our military is all that weak.
