The only reason Russia is invading Ukraine is because they feel threatened by the USA and NATO and they need a buffer for their own defense. If USA left NATO and especially if Russia joined after that then Russia would not feel the need to secure a buffer between NATO and Russia.
China probably would not feel as threatened either if the USA were not as involved in Asia as it is currently. I think the world could actually reach a new level of peace if President Trump would withdraw the USA from NATO and isolate the USA from world politics.
AND THE UN TOO!!
Yeah we’ve been “taking it like the French” for FAR too long
No, we need to stay in the UN. Don't underestimate the power of having a 'permanent' veto.
That being said, we have better things to do with our money. It certainly makes sense for the US to review all the annual 'contributions' by each individual country, and match the lowest one.
After all, isn't that fair?
Remove our funding of the UN and it collapses.
No we don't. Of we leave its balls are gone. And it's money. We should kick it out.
This I can get behind. NATO too. But disengaging from the world completely isnt the right strategy. We need to cooperate and compete honestly on equal footing always with the ideal of America First. You lead by example same as you have peace through strength.
In theory, yes. But as Putin pointed out in the interview with Tucker Carlson, America weaponized our currency and tried to control other nations through it. It worked for decades .. until it didn't. As Putin said, it was a serious mistake.
So now we have to start from scratch on the global stage.
That was implied in "isolate from world politics"
The Soviet Union no longer exists, so why does NATO?
Well said.
Because NATO and the UN have always been about world government.
Nuclear weapons.
We are NATO. We stop. It ends
Why do we need NATO - wasn't it started to protect Europe from the USSR?
Three decades later, NATO is just a pointless money pit.
What if we simply ended NATO, UN, WEF, IMF, WHO, World Bank, etc.?
The WORLD would prosper with nations competing for market share.
Russia tried twice to join Nato and has never been threat to Europe.
NATO doesn't need the USA and can invite Russia. In fact not letting Russia to join was a mistake that is partly the reason Ukraine is at war now.
Oh man, that would be part of having an actual Constitutional Republic in the U.S., with extremely limited government. What a concept!
It is also racist, causes global warming, and pro-Putin. Also fat-shaming and homophobic. Did I forget anything?
The USA should be involved in world politics, only to the extent of promoting peace and security for the nations, and to root out corruption as much as possible. End the deep state!!!!!!!!!
Biden needs to go to prison for "son-of-a-bitch, he got fired!".
"Promoting peace and security for other nations and rooting out corruption " is what we've already been doing. That's "our democracy!" Its a trash concept that doesnt have a place in reality anymore. We are not responsible for other countries. It could be asserted that WE are the root of alot of turmoil around the globe.
Trump will usher in a new sense isolationism for the US. BRICS is part of that since it removes the US Dollar as the global reserve currency. The US Note will be for domestic transactions only as we rebuild after the great awakening.
Just a little context, as Russian, why we have problem with NATO in Ukraine - not in modern times, but some context before 2014.
Crimea is the base for Russian black sea fleet.
NATO was trying to push Russian black fleet out of there, make military training there (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2006/jun/08/russia.nickpatonwalsh) and visit military ships there (protests against it in 2013 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELNuYLaGV5s).
And Crimea population, being basically Russian population, was greatly against it, and had to stand on it's own against Yuschenko, until Yanukovich came to power.
If Ukraine joined NATO Russia would lose it's black sea fleet.
Oh sweet summer child comments on this video in YT from 10 years ago... mocking this activists, not knowing what will happen in a year.
"Activists like NATO - SERVANT OF THE ANTICHRIST, BANKS, VACCINES, CASHLESS PAYMENT 666."
And some really knowing what's happening:
"Sevastopol will become a hero twice, you will finish playing Yanukovych and co."
It isn't isolation, it is non-intervention, and not getting into entangling alliances.
There can be no greater error than to expect, or calculate upon real favours from Nation to Nation. 'Tis an illusion which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to discard. ~ George Washington
My policy has been, and will continue to be, while I have the honor to remain in the administration of the government, to be upon friendly terms with, but independent of, all the nations of the earth. To share in the broils of none. To fulfil our own engagements. To supply the wants, and be carriers for them all: Being thoroughly convinced that it is our policy and interest to do so. ~ George Washington
The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is in extending our commercial relations to have as little political connection as possible... Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalships, interest, humor, or caprice?... It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world. ~ George Washington
The true theory of our Constitution is surely the wisest and best, that the States are independent as to everything within themselves, and united as to everything respecting foreign affairs. Let the General Government be reduced to foreign concerns only, and let our affairs be disentangled from those of all other nations, except as to commerce, which the merchants will manage the better, the more they are left free to manage for themselves, and our General Government may be reduced to a very simple organization, and a very inexpensive one; a few plain duties to be performed by a few servants. ~ Thomas Jefferson
[America] goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. She will commend the general cause by the countenance of her voice, and the benignant sympathy of her example. She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom. ~ John Quincy Adams
Can any reasonable man be well disposed toward a government which makes war and carnage the only means of supporting itself? ~ Alexander Hamilton
Close the bases, bring our people home. Screw em’
Think it thru.
Use binary logic to come to your conclusions.
Then re-read what you wrote.
I don't see anything wrong with my logic.
I don't think that word means what you think it means.
Isolation is in the forecast----weather for good or for bad---we will see what happens.
Why not take a step further and shutdown NATO entirely? Let these European ingrates foot their own defense bills. No more free riding.
No. Like it or not, the world is safer with the US as a policeman than when it isn't. Trump used the US mil to great effect and achieved the closest thing to world peace in my lifetime with it. If we withdraw from the field, China will fill that void.
You won't like those long-term consequences.
No, the world is actually less safe with the USA acting as police. If the USA were not in NATO and actually isolated in the America & Russia and maybe even China were in NATO then there would have not been even any reason for Ukraine war.
Once Russia takes over Ukraine then they will take over Poland. If that happens then the United States will have to go to war. We are trying to prevent that from happening.
No, the USA can stay out of the war and it should. What happens in Europe is Europe's problem.
Lmao. Handshake shill
I’m guessing you want to see our Troops in war?
Why they would be in war? If the USA left NATO then there would be no obligations to aid any country.
USA will not withdraw from NATO. Why didn’t Trump withdraw from NATO when he was CIC?
LOL
I don’t watch that shit. I just don’t want to see the U.S troops going to war!!
Putin said no invasion of Poland UNLESS they attacked us. Poland is not stupid- especially if Trump has the USA leave the UN and NATO. I use to joke about World Peace - I think Trump will orchestrate that. Can’t wait for liberals head s to explode 🤯
Putin has also stated in the past that he doesn’t want war with Ukraine. Trump had his chance to pull the U.S from NATO and he didn’t.
He’s setting the chess board - his third term - it’s gone.
If Russia wanted to attack NATO directly it would have done it by now.
And if it does then the United States will be going to war. We don’t want that!!
Article 5 doesn't mean the USA has to send troops to aid ally. In fact, if the USA withdrew from NATO, there would be absolutely no obligations to aid anybody.
