True, but I'd say that about basically every politician in office since I started paying attention to politics; Trump is nowhere close to being unique in that regard. Obama was the same, Bush Jr. was the same, Clinton was the same; and everyone from those in their cabinets, to the House and the...

The most important change we made was making sure they never held a grudge against us for beating them; something they were well equipped to do, and which would have meant severe consequences later down the line. Instead, we turned what was once our hated enemy into one of our most loyal allies...

So when are we kicking Turkey out of NATO? Because it sounds like they're under the control of the very enemy NATO exists to combat.

I wonder how many people were unaware that there were different classifications they could be placed under. I mean look at all these; if you were draft dodging, then you clearly had no idea what you were doing back then. Well, either that, or getting placed in a classification that wouldn't...

I suggest you look up Stephen F. Cohen. The man has had a lot to say about the deteriorating relationship between the US and Russia, and the numerous lost opportunities we've had to turn them into an ally.

No problem; what you're saying makes sense, in any event. I hope you're right. Still, I would have much preferred Russia as a actual friend, rather than a potential ally of convenience.

No matter what the United States ends up doing, it will be treated as both. It's one of the costs of being the top dog on the international stage; everyone else resents you for everything you do.

Really? Because last I checked, it seemed to me like they were siding with China. Also, Russia wouldn't be trying to "eat parts of Eastern Europe" if we hadn't been trying to do so for decades. The violent overthrow of a pro-Russian Ukrainian government by a pro-NATO coup was simply the final...

Russia is a shadow of what the Soviet Union once was; China is a far bigger threat to us now, and nobody seems to think we need a NATO equivalent to deal with them. Also, I'd argue Russia wouldn't even be antagonistic to American interests, if we had actually stopped treating then like an...

I'd argue there is no reason for NATO to exist anymore, seeing as how the Soviets no longer exist.

What exactly does Turkey offer to be considered a member of NATO? Because whatever it is, I refuse to believe it makes up for them doing something like this.
