Sorry for the headline. I don’t know why they don’t just say it’s Vivek Ramaswamy.

To that end, I will accept Russian control of the occupied territories and pledge to block Ukraine’s candidacy for NATO in exchange for Russia exiting its military alliance with China. I will end sanctions and bring Russia back into the world market. In this way, I will elevate Russia as a strategic check on China’s designs in East Asia.

    I’m not into US politics other than the basics, but let me tell every American that the consequences of something like this happening will be catastrophic, and then you’ll “fight” China alone, if not with more opponents.

    Trump was already a huge liability to European foreign policy, if it happens again, the EU will dissociate from the US, weaponize and go nuclear. The eastern countries will enter direct conflict with Russia eventually (sooner than later), and the whole continent will get dragged into the war. At the end who ever is left will not support the US, actively be against it, and have nuclear weapons.

      In terms of European nuclear weapons, the UK and France already have their own nuclear arsenals. But the broader content of your comment is bang on.

      So you’re saying I should support Trump to stop the US empire. Interesting proposal.

      'Course that assumes US allies aren’t already looking for the exists regardless of the next election…

        Not the OP, but they never said to support Trump. In fact, they said he was also bad.

          Yeah I’m just teasing - ultimately I can’t bring myself to vote for someone that’ll enable my own internment in a concentration camp. As much as I hate America I also don’t really want to die anymore lol
