The shift to a global dictatorship system is a terrible thought.

MAGA Warms to a Murderous Chilean Dictator

Augusto Pinochet’s perceived enemies were drugged, hooded, and tossed into the sea by helicopter. Some of Trump’s fans—including a GOP congressman—find that worthy of praise, or at least humor.

The exact same mindset as the January 6th Insurrection, "they aint coming for me", pay the school yard bully or there's no protection. I know business is dirty, but how can America be run on that kind of thinking.

Yeah but Biden didn't speak like peak Cicero....

This isn't new, right wing chuds have joked about "helicopter rides" since before MAGA was even a thing.

Far be it from me to agree with him, but in the situation we are all in now if any NATO member is not already at 2% then serious question should be asked.

It almost certainly needs to be a minimum of 2% on conventional forces as it is (given that the costs of the deterrent and stuff like defence housing take up a big chunk of our contribution). We really need to be at 4-5% with realistic plans in place to scale it up as necessary reasonably quickly.

Aye doesn't need to be new, just flagged.

What is on the table with the GOP offering is awful.

I'm really frightened by what a second Trump term will mean for the world. I think a lot of the crap the world is dealing with now is down to him pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal and his coddling of Putin. Iran wouldn't be supplying Russia with drones, and the attacks on Israel probably wouldn't have happened.

I can't imagine how those in the Baltics or Poland are feeling. My Polish neighbour has been terrified that they'll be next if Putin takes Ukraine.

That's without even thinking about his domestic agenda, which will be too horrific for words.

"I would encourage them (Russia) to do whatever they want".

Apart from that going against 70 years of American foreign policy - its unhinged.

He's team Putin, so no it should be no surprise to hear this sort of stuff.

If he thought standing back and allowing Putin to plunder another countries resources would line his wallet, then you can guarentee he'd be all for it.
