  • That’s how Trump plans to end the war, Viktor Orbán, who met Trump at Mar-a-Lago, said.
  • The Trump campaign has not said whether the pair discussed Ukraine during the visit.

    Be more clear in your point. I get you don’t like Trump but what he said was true.

    Now everyone is scurrying because he was right.

    Hate the man as much as you want but at the end of the day, he was right.

    You fight a war with the Army you have, not the one you can build in the next five years. Europe has not taken their defense seriously, and it isn’t our job to spend our money to defend Europe. It is our job to help in their defense.

    Putin was a wakeup call to Europe and hopefully they leaned you always need to be prepared for war.

      Ok, sure, let’s play your game.

      Let’s say Trump gets in, and the US fucks off from NATO. What then?

      Outline the ramifications for me. I have a pretty concrete idea of what the fallout would be, but I want you to tell me what you think would happen, in your own words.

          You didn’t answer the question I posed.

          You unilaterally disregarded one of the two core points I specified in the antecedent, and then pretended it was the same question. It’s not. You fundamentally altered the question by doing that.

            I did. I even cited it. Trump can’t do what you are describing. It would be overruled.

              Bad faith argument. Gotcha.

              I’m not playing this game with you. Welcome to my block list.
