above this post. You said 'Is NATO" gone yet?" Obviously your meaning was "the predictions of Nato's demise were overstated". Except I never made that prediction.

See, it's a little thing I have - if I see a candidate supporting a direction I oppose, I am opposed to that candidate, even if I think the candidate is unlikely to succeed in his quest. He can do all kinds of damage along the way, short of his ultimate goal. For example, Trump lost Syria. Flat out lost it. He got the Kurds to die in their thousands to help destroy the ISIS "caliphate", and then left them to the genocidal designs of the Turks, and the Russians, ceding power and influence to one of our greatest foes on the world stage.

What would a president who values NATO have done? At least worked within its structure to see about a transition out for our 1000 or so troops, to be potentially replaced by a NATO force - as Turkey is in NATO. But instead the stable genius did it in a tweet.

I won't be happy about voting for Warren if she's my choice, but I will to be rid of this orange menace, despite my optimism that he won't succeed in bringing about the worst of his worldview.

Which, yes, is very similar to the worldview that spawned 2 world wars in the last century.
