@giujohn,
It does not matter that Trump tries to frame the ruination of NATO as our allies taking advantage of us. The US, by the way, gets a ton of business selling weapons to our NATO allies-armaments is one of our biggest industries. Regardless, this is what happens with Russia when NATO is not there to protect the country:
Hungary 1956:
Similar for Poland the same year.
With Hungary and Poland gone down, Russia reigned supreme over Eastern Europe unchallenged, until in 1968 the Czechs decided not to rebel, but to demand more freedom within the Russian dominant system. Sounds reasonable, right? Here's Russia's answer.
Czechoslovakia 1968:
Hungary, Poland, and Czechoslavakia, (now the Czech Republic and Slovakia), are now in NATO, and they are safe from this-unless Trump gets elected. Then they either have to pay up an amount that these recovering economies cannot afford, (don't forget they were held hostage by the inefficient Russian economic system for 50 years), or Russia gets to do this again, while we stand idly by doing nothing. Because, you know, Trump thought Putin was just such a swell guy when he met him during Russia's Miss Universe pageant.
Trump has disqualified himself for the office of President for this position alone.
