You can't do this pal. Just walking in to the middle of a thread responding to thread title in a single sentence with extra words while ignoring all recent convo. I just spent a few minutes of my time trying to figure out wth you were talking about before identifying the extra word and reconciling your post with the thread title. Not cool. :/

leaving nato is a really bad idea for a variety of reasons. i understand the actual goal is to exact tribute from the "eurocucks" - but it's an empty threat. leaving nato would seriously harm the united states militarily, economically, politically, etc.

that said, it's not an idea being hotly debated by political adults. stop it.

vote trump!

How, exactly?

Militarily? Until ABMs become a reality, no one is starting a war with any country that possesses ballistic missile submarines. It would be an act of pure insanity. Funnily enough, Obama's miserable foreign policy involves fomenting a revolution in Ukraine, which is adjacent to the nation with largest nuclear stockpile in the world, and giving the religious nuts in Iran nuclear weapons (the one country stupid enough to start a war of mutual annihilation).

Economically? Scaling back US bases abroad would save money which could either either fund tax cuts or more worthless social programs.

Politically? Who cares! Even the normally militarily challenged French can defend themselves, given that they have nuclear ballistic missiles (see #1). Perhaps the EU would veto the TTIP . . . which would be a very, very good thing for citizens everywhere, if not for the 1% who own all the stock in multinational corporations. There would be a lot of noise out of Europe but at the end of the day it wouldn't really matter.

So leaving NATO (or inviting Russia!) or otherwise reducing the tensions in Eastern Europe would be an obvious political win. I don't have a lot of hope for Trump here, though. More likely under his Presidency would be Trump(tm) Nuclear Submarines, The 25th Armored Division (Trump) etc.

US should just elect Merkel since she has done such a great job in Germany.

I'm surprised nobody posted the pic of Reagan riding the Velociraptor
