Re: LETTER TO TRUMP
Dude, did you miss your morning coffee or something?
Lets go through your points one by one.
1. Dismantle NATO. Not a bad idea at present because the world has gone nuts. You have people like Erdogan and the Polish vindictive little idiot as a part of it. They are trigger happy enough to provoke WW3. I do not see why we should support that in that endeavor. This, however, is the only reason. Got nothing to do with cost savings.
2. What boot-licking. The "friendly" Europeans which have Bear Baiting as a favorite sport need no boot to be offered to them to "confront Russia". Now, why are they doing it is a different story. You have the full spectrum of causes - nationalists who need "an enemy" as a part of the essential nationalistic "rule through fear" set, people who are on the payroll of oligarchs which did not get along with Putin and moved to Londongrad, people whose fav national past-time for the past 900 years has been "hunt the Slavic neighbor as we no longer have wolves and bears for a noble hunt" (ever since the Pope granted them a divine right to exterminate any unbeliever vermin while forgetting that the unbelievers in question happen to be Christian too). So frankly, from the perspective of ensuring that we do not go into WW3, withdrawing the NATO umbrella from them is not such a bad idea either. If you like Bear Baiting, do it on your own bill. I see no reason why we should be footing it.
3. Money is never reallocated to productive uses. It will be reallocated to F35 and more Star Wars with the official explanation now being Iran and North Korea ICBMs.
4. Oh, it will not. The moment Trump will diverge too far from the predicated path ordained by those who pay the bills, he will be impeached on technicality.
