@perjakobsen while very, VERY tempting, the reality is that at current, Europe relies heavily on the US for intelligence and surveillance, and that makes telling Trump to duck off a pipe dream for now.Having weapons and troops is only some of the cogs in the wheel of warfare, you also need to know where to use them and what they will be facing, or you are done for even before you begin. Fighting blind is no good.

@malte as far as I understand he needs a 2/3 majority in the house (or was it the senate?) to approve leaving + then the other chamber has to ratify that.I realize he has done a lot of things without asking congress & some of it is being investigated wrt legality. However, I believe all the democrats and quite a lot of the republicans are still sane enough to not want to leave NATO. I think this will be much harder for him to do, than the other shit he's pulled (or he would have left already)

@MaryAustinBooksFreudian slip from No Yankee Times surely?
