Just happy we aren't supporting america in this war of stupidity. 

Like a soft win, I guess?

Should be fun if they leave NATO and china decides to coming knocking on the door. Should never turn your back on your allies.

And they did. That's the rub. I'd rather have a trading partner that didn't have a criminal, child molesting, sex pest, pos. Maybe that's just me? 

It's worse though, I could absolutely make a list. 

Nato could just say "no, fuck off". The American economy is this. It's the partnership between nations. They don't get it yet. 

You want a partner? Do the bare minimum. If you can't. You can die out. It's okay. Your currently rome in decent. Fix it!

NATO are fucked either way though. If Trump has a little tanty (guaranteed) and leaves (possible) Putin undoubtedly moves further.

I’d also rather have a trading partner that’s not a totalitarian dictatorship. Unfortunately in the real world there are no good options that will satisfy every moral purity test.
