Compare the economies of Russia versus Western Europe. It is about time Western Europe pays their own way for their defense. There is no way in hell Russia should be a threat to Western Europe even without us.
Sweden is moving to revert to Cold War era military posture out of fear of Russian invasion. Russia is a threat to the sovereignty of every nation and its vicinity, and Trump has shown an inclination to side with Russia over NATO (and a Russian ambassador was just killed in a NATO country). I'm not protecting World War III, but it's no longer outside the realm of possibility, and I'm not sure the US will be on the right side.
How in the world is Russia a threat to their neighbors sovereignty????
BTW, speaking of the "right side of history" meme that liberals love, if you go back to WWII, liberals also opposed that war and tried to pull a Vietnam on it. They constantly wrote about how it was going badly and people were dying and we needed to pull out. And then we won and they were like "yeah, see, I was always for this."
Funny, as I recall, it was the America First & mostly very politically conservative groups that strenuously opposed US involvement in WWII. If Pres. FDR was among the Liberals @ the time, then the Liberals were looking for ways to support the Allies (with supplies, food, textiles, & later trucks, jeeps - & finally, destroyers, tanks, arty, airplanes, ammo & weapons - to full-fledged war after Pearl Harbor). If you have any sites that show otherwise, I'd be interested in looking @ them.
It's astounding that right wingers don't know this.

Yes, why stop at world war... GALAXY WAR 1... I mean its entirely possible!! How can anyone not see that Trump will just outright attack extraterrestrial life on other galaxies... just a glimpse of the stupidity of the liberal brain...
