They want Russia to have unlimited power and destroy our relations with our allies to force us into a position where Russia is the only option left. These traitors need to be dragged off of their thrones.
What makes you think they don't? GOP & Dems were both hacked by Russia, but only the Dems info was released. GOP info is being used for control. Easy to do when they care more about themselves than their country. All their shit needs to be outed & exposed.
Good to see some of these responses about this spineless senator. I live in rural southern Utah. The hate is overwhelming. So much in fact, that we’re moving. We are now Republican political adversaries. I’m a veteran and I took an oath. That remains. Your party will not.
Alas, NATO is already as good as dead. Given how Trump is breaking treaties left and right, it is practically guaranteed he would not uphold Article 5.
Doesn't he realise that stepping out of the NATO means NATO will stop buying American war machinery? How is going to explain this to the people who bought him?
Think about this. Our government HAS been taken over by fascists. The CIA seems to be cool with this. Are they complicit? Is this takeover engineered by them? Why was Biden so frightened?
There is now a global movement that is anti-TrumpUSA. I would suggest it’s in his interest to keep the relationship as he’s going to need it. If a bunch of jihadi can bring a nation to its knees by controlling literally a few planes you’re not that secure.
Not only that but Canada would then be able to decouple from NORAD and redevelop its air-force and military because the US would no longer be a trading partner and ally but an enemy that we couldn't trust. The world going crazy is what we are seeing. Waiting to see where the strikes fall.
I don't think Trump thinks. Because if he does so, Europe and Canada would be in a position to defend Denmark exclusively through the NATO Treaty from a military conquest of Greenland. Which means the US could see its bases in Greenland terminated and the US treated as an enemy. Just. Like. Russia.
They seem intent on destroying every commitment we have ever made with our allies. I guess they think we don’t need anyone else to help us if we ever need help. I don’t understand their thinking. It is staggering what the “Trumplicans” are thinking and doing to our country.
The US has become unreliable and untrustworthy. I wouldn't bank on them honouring their NATO commitments anyway and would prefer the UK and Europe dropped the US from NATO and 5 Eyes.
The US is useless as an ally, a partner or even just in friend in times of crisis. We are better off without them. I just want the UK leadership to start rebuilding closer ties with Europe and maybe reach a point where we are welcomed back in to the EU. Most of the UK population want this now.
This is an opportunity not a crisis. Time to forge new alliances with Canada AND Ukraine to oppose the new axis of autocracy in the world.
I believe rejoining the EU is still Starmer's aim, but our toxic media & the idiots in our country have to be muzzled first with the right policies and results.
I wish I could snap my fingers and get rid of Mike Johnson, Bill Cassady, John Kennedy, and Jeff Landry. I voted against all of them except Mike Johnson, and that is only because I don't live in his district.
Don't bother calling him or emails, I've done both and I got crickets from him. Utah, what kind of morals and values do you have to keep electing him? Oh, that's right, Mormons have the same morals and values he has. Glad I left that church.
As one of the people he supposedly represents; I wish so too. He and his entire family of nepo-baby losers and idiots have been nothing but an embarrassment that Utah voters are too goddamn stupid to see just because they say the right things on Twitter
He also wants to eliminate the TSA, what could go wrong there, tried to block the 9/11 Responders Fund, said that democracy shouldn't be an objective for the US, and carries around a pocket Constitution made by a Mormon conspiracy theorist.
The strong will stand together through these hard times and reap the rewards when they come to an end.
Two years until the mid-term election cycle.
Change will come soon.
Kind of pointless since there is no way to enforce NATO in the first place. It's not like the World Police come and arrest you if you dodge your alliance obligations. There is no upside to exiting NATO, just loss of influence and strategic military position.
If the US withdrew from NATO, at least it might eliminate any hesitation his former allies might have in entering a conflict against the US when they try to annex Greenland.
These people seem to believe that NATO weakens the US and mostly exists solely to promote the interests of the European allies, when it's actually the other way round.
NATO is what is holding the world together in times as dangerous as today. It’s been a powerful unifying agreement that is needed more today than ever.
I don’t know. Sounds like a fair question to ask. I mean, think about it…
What has NATO done for the United States? European nations of NATO don’t even pay their fair share of dues. The United States pays almost all of the funding.
The most important part of NATO is Article 5 "An attack on one is an attack on all" and all respond. In the entire history of NATO this has only ever happened once. It was after 9/11 when we all sent our forces to fight and if needed die along side you in Iraq.
Putin and China are clapping their hands eagerly because the end of NATO will massively strengthen them both. And weaken every current NATO ally... and several others who enjoyed NATO deterrence in their region as well.
The US leaving NATO would weaken it but not end it. After all even without the US NATO still has 31 nations including 2 nuclear powers. Many NATO members are starting to increase defence spending in response to the Russia\Ukarine war and America proving itself an unreliable ally.
I'm not so sure NATO could persist for long without the US. Some NATO countries have already increased their spending years ago. But they're small countries. In the bigger european ones, raising military spending is extremely unpopular. Far right parties are gaining popularity and look to end NATO.
Military spending is often unpopular but remember we are in Europe which is going through it's largest war since WW2. Over a million dead or wounded in ongoing confict less than 1,500 miles away makes people nervous.
Finland, Sweden. They get it. Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, and Poland, they all get it too. They're doing all they can to get ready. But without the bigger NATO nations helping in an Article V scenario, it's looking bad. I don't think the rest of NATO is ready to go on when the USA leaves.
The UK is running the Joint Expiditionary Force with most of the Nordic nations. It is a joint sea and land task force to patrol and rapidly counter threats in the North Atlantic and Baltic. It's good that we are working closely with Europe again. UK opinion is swinging back to pro-europe.
In Germany, where we currently have an extreme political shift to the right, looking at the other European states experiencing the same. It's all part of Russia's strategy and misinformation campaign. And it's working well. The general public doesn't seem to care about Ukraine much anymore...
The UK is the largest military in Europe and we have just decided increased our defence spending 25%. Most of the big European nations are now doing similar. The US has every right to Leave NATO but it has no power to end it. The US leaving NATO would probably just encourage to spend more.
Good that the UK is spending more, and just like in Germany, the UK military is in dire need of renewal. There's personnel shortages, too, just like in all other militaries in Europe. Do you think the 25% more are enough to heal the current state in the next four years? 2029 might be the next attack
In the last 20 years the size of our armed forces has decreased by 30%. I would like to see that come back up to where it was that will take more. Where we score highly is with the quality of our equipment. Also there is a massive renewal underway covering armoured vehicles, ships and subs.
Ya know, ya wonder if The Drumpfs, which is Trump's ACTUAL name. Ya wonder, did their family go out of their way to isolate them, & their household during their lives? #weird Bc ISOLATIONISM sure sounds like Drumpfs drink of choice.Trump/Drumpf He's very plastic. #hesPlastic #isolating #isolation
He drank the kool-aid, thinking he could boost his career and steal some money from taxpayers that way. There is nothing left of his humanity: he is a hollow man.
I expect he might say 'The party is a political organization, not a religion or genetic destiny' if the latter notion was a thing. :)
Really people are too easily fooled about where the 'conservatives'/racists took power while saying 'Party Of Lincoln,' but they really have no such manifesto.
You and me both. Unfortunately I am stuck with this clown for a senator. I seriously can't name one good thing he's done for my state. He is such an embarrassment.
He continues to antagonize a constituency with some of the laxest gun laws and highest rates of religious extremism. Hope the new admin knows to kneel to the churches $1 trillion wealth fund.
America leaving NATO would make all of Trump's expansionist plans even easier for the world to oppose. Currently NATO is trying to figure out if the rules apply if two countries within NATO fight but if a non-NATO US invades NATO Greenland/Canada then the rest of NATO retaliates. Simples
So if the US withdrew from NATO, if another country attacked the US, Countries that support NATO wouldn't come to the US's aid, is this correct? If that's true, why would you do such a thing with so many as enemies?
Yeah, but that would be just dumb.....unless Russia wants to invade the US? Course they'd have to come through Canada....too many scenerios to think of this day...lol
If I could Thanos snap one group, it’d be theists and give them the rapture they desire more than life itself. Monotheistic religions are at the root of all the right-wing bullshit that the world has had to endure ever since man invented gods to control the masses.
It’s appears that each GQP rep I hear about is worse than the last one I heard about…I can’t believe how low they go and how f’ed up our government is becoming because of them.
He knows that to attack Denmark and Canada, the US can't pretend to be an ally much longer.
George, please don't end up in a US camp again. The excuse of "trans paedophiles" will be used for the next roundup. Don't wait too long to get to safety as many of the Weimar Jews did.
Despite massive defense budgets our military has been shrinking year after year for decades. Abandoning our alliances would make us increasingly vulnerable. Just look at how few ships we have after you back off useless LCS class & number of ships tied up for long waited maintenance vs. China.
If I could snap my fingers and have something happen, it'd make all the regressive, backwards-thinking lunatics of the world, disappear into the ether, make it all go away so humanity can shine...
I send him a letter or fax everyday about his actions and how they impact us, his constituents. I wish he would visit one of our many internment camps from WW2 and gain some empathy.
Mike Lee was one of the first, probably because Putin has dirt on him. Mormons are disproportionately inclined towards domestic abuse, sexual assault on children, and general shitbaggery of that variety. Their cult does its damndest to keep any and all allegations "in house" (covered up)
NATO is a tool to enable the military industrial complex to profit more from selling weapons to other countries. It is designed to drag the US into regional conflicts even when they are far away from our homeland. NATO should be dissolved asap.
I wish I could snap my fingers and we’d all go back to Jan 2021 impeachment hearing in Senate and Mitch chose the right thing instead of what he did then.
Without definitive proof, none of which the MSM has uncovered or they’d be raging about it 24/7, I will not accept the premise of “hijacking”.
Adversely influenced by Russia, Iran, and the maga machine? ABSOLUTELY! But “hijacked”? No…that implies actual votes were illegally manifested/disregarded.
The more I look at it the more I get the feeling that they are obsessed with withdrawing from every organisation that can hold them accountable for actions that they take. They want to do what they like, when ever they like to whoever they like without having to answer to anyone.
May Mike Lee be diminished. I fixed it. May being on the right side of history actually mean something. I put in my order w/ the Universe. Waiting is difficult.
Why do they think getting out is even a good thing? Like what have they said would be the benefit of isolation? It truly looks like they want to destroy us

DUMBASSERY
George.. you and me both!!! What if we snap together?
Guess not.
Europe it appears you may be on your own

Lee is truly 🗑️

Enjoying the chaos, he is the real winner of this election!
Let them burn it all down and reap the consequences.
...please sweetie...
...we all expected it.

Fixed it for you.
... probably my hand would catch fire.
Worth it.
Such an event would be all over every news station around the world that wasn’t linked to “conservatives”…would it not?
Adversely influenced by Russia, Iran, and the maga machine? ABSOLUTELY! But “hijacked”? No…that implies actual votes were illegally manifested/disregarded.
against the election...
The data is slowly coming out from independent researching right now.
But it all starts with Musk's purchase of X, his troll farms and algorithm manipulation.
Hacking votes from space is just another piece...
Start here I'll get you more
Really limited government there.
Until now.
The Trump administration should be ashamed of the bridges they’re burning, yet disgustingly, this is a point of pride with them.
I do not want this clown representing my state.
