NOT TRUE: "PRESIDENT TRUMP, ONCE AGAIN PIQUED at an ally, has ordered 5,000 American troops withdrawn from Germany." Trump ordered troop withdrawal from Germany because Putin told him to help destroy NATO. Almost everything Trump deoes foreign-policywise, benefits Putin and Russia. Germany didn't pique Trump. It piqued Putin, and Donald obeyed Putin , afraid that Putin will reveal the photographic-evidence truth of Trump's Epstein escapades.
Well, the drawdowns are on Putin's orders, so of course they're an own goal: the president is not playing for nor holding up the side, but rather is aiding and abetting the enemy. People throw the word treason around in all of the wrong places, but miss it when it's happening right in front of them.
I don't think we need any blow stuff up/burn it to the ground action to make positive changes. Using a more gentle dismantling and repurposing of materials, assets, etc. seems to be the saner approach. Showing by example actions of peace, promoting harmony and inclusion, demonstrating love in action toward each other is the way. It lasts longer, cements friendships and alliances, while we actively pursue our goal of peace, love, harmony, respect for all life and this planet. Violence will not get us there, no matter what the intention may be. I see workers, volunteers even, taking down the gold-painted trappings of a would-be king, and using the materials in a more productive fashion, literally and figuratively. We all must learn from this current, chaotic, violent dementia-fueled madness to create and sustain a world we want to live in. We have to discover and uphold the truth. We reshape and improve our democracy into something stronger, making the checks-and-balances system more impervious, providing this country's people a stronger voice. We cannot let grift and greed win, by simply refusing to play that game. Integrity is of the essence. It's hard work, and more gradual, but worth it.
US payment toward NATO takes two forms: NATO dues and the cost of maintaining US troops in Europe. The latter is the larger part. If we accept the premise that the USSR, and now Putin's Russia, is a threat to the US, then forward bases in Europe are an asset. Drawing down troop strength in Europe while simultaneously proposing to increase our defense budget by about $600 billion is no economy.
He bankrupted six casinos. What the fork does he know about economics, bookkeeping or anything to do with numbers that exceed the number of his little fingers on his little hands?
True, as well as remembering how to maintain the ecological balance in the place you live so it can continue to support you and your people for millenia.
Heck yeah Go Sabres!

There are over 4 million whites in South Africa. Only a few thousand chose to leave, and some of those are going back. What does this suggest?
A better democracy?

Definitely. Putin’s dream!
Absolutely. It's so blatant, and I don't understand how many people have been so hoodwinked by this traitor.
People will be studying this question for years.
No doubt about it.

If Trump withdraws American troops from Germany, Germany should replace them.
Every NATO country should confiscate any and all American equipment on their soil.
Jim Swift standing up for democracy, thanks
I am very excited to listen to Tim on Linda Chavez’s show. Thanks Jim for flagging it.
Putin doesn't even have to do anything. DonOld Dick's brain is squirming like a toad.
He understands nothing. He knows nothing.

And Trump is bankrupting this country as fast as he can. Trump is quickly making as much money as he can mange as well! Right in front of our eyes!
Do not over look the fact that all tax cuts for his billionaire friends includes huge cuts for himself!
For a laugh, Google yourself up the story about how an Indian tribe comprised of a couple of dozen people in 29 Palms, CA, took Trump for a ride.
Will do. Can we hire them as advisors for this Fall, or is wasted money in Cali?😏
I think it was the late 70's. Elders of the tribe do not last forever.
But the tribe does, and folklore is handed down through generations, according to Tonto anyway.

Not thrilled with the gratuitous Tonto reference.
