Very doubtful Russia will ever be peaceful.

That's the American viewpoint! I'm talking about the Europeans! You know, the ones who want us out of Europe?

Do you even know what Nordstream 2 is? If Russia is such a threat, why are they doing it?

You don't, do you?

The we should get out. Let them worry about their problems. How would I know why they're doing it? I'm not a politician.

But...you just said we're abandoning our allies. Did I persuade you? Wow, that's pretty rare. Good talking to you.

One parting favor? Give this a quick read and let me know what you think? https://zeihan.com/the-2020-elections-and-beyond/

"And so I put Trump into the same basket as Obama: leaders who left the country worse than they found it" But no examples where given save enforceable (successful) trade agreements and unenforceable bilateral agreements that fell apart (with communists like China and North Korea). But success plus status quo is not failure. Yes Trump should have been more extreme and less moderate, but that's another question all together.

Yes senators suck as presidents. The Obama criticisms over secrecy and direct micromanagement were spot on. Remember when he promised to be the most transparent administration in history? Pepperridge Farm remembers. People can complain all they want, but we know exactly what Trump thinks and is up to.

"I had the opportunity to meet Biden shortly after the Obama administration ended and my first thought was 'Wow. He might…he might have dementia. It’s a good thing he didn’t run for president.'" Oof. "I want my president to be able to handle a crisis. And foreign leaders. And the press corps. And a phone call. Due to his disposition, Trump has repeatedly demonstrated he cannot do these things well." Like what? Remember the declassified (transparency again!) call with Ukraine? That was fine. Getting the (now comatose) leader of North Korea past the DMZ was not good enough? Finally showing the American people that the media is not to be trusted is not handling the press corps? I beg to differ. I don't see the failure and unfortunately the author doesn't tell us. That's suspicious, maybe he will explain further.

"President Trump’s seemingly deliberate and always callous mismanagement of the coronavirus crisis has contributed to the death of 200,000 Americans." Like the "racist" travel bans (but again Trump stood up to the media, on behalf the country), or the PPE mobilization or the economic recovery bills or ... I don't know what he's getting at other than giving very vague and obtuse numbers. No mention of the fact that that 200k number includes people who committed suicide? No 6% non-comorbidity stat which would put the Wuhan flu as just twice as bad as a normal flu?

"Forget the CDC and the WHO." No! "All Trump needed to do to mitigate the risk was say something like 'wear a mask, maintain some distance, and look in on your loved ones'." Check, check and check. Plus task forces and press conferences. Or was I the only one who watched them to stay informed??

"And so Trump will lose and he will lose big. Assuming, that is, Biden can prove he still has some marbles." Alright well I suppose I'll come back to this if A) Biden doesn't implode and B) Trump loses. Yawn.

That was great. I'm glad I was able to open your mind about our worthless, freeloading European "allies" who want us gone. Sometimes just asking people what they think, instead of filling in the blanks yourself with what you imagine they might think, is the best policy.

America is a European society, retard. Idiots like you sold us all down the river with your race denial a long time a go so cut the bullshit. Your real goal is to enforce a fake civic American identity that doesn't exist without Europeans and strong connection to our ancestral continent. We destroyed Europe during WW2 and now we leave like we were the unappreciated good guys the whole time. Europe is dying because of disgusting American cultural exports like multiculturalism and multiracialism and you have the gall to call them worthless? NO.

The good ones were all killed in the war. What's left are the wimps who stayed behind. They chose to be assholes and kick our troops out. Fuck 'em. Hope they choke on it.
