#2 How about --- keep a small palace guard and turn the rest of the current money over to Poles and Baltics who know what to do with it?

#10 Nato should have started dissolving in 1992 when it ceased to be material to the situation. Then none of this would have happened.

#11 Kick anyone not meeting their goals for three years out. If Poland isn't in, add them. Kick out Turkey no matter what.

#13 They just regard free American security as a birthright, don't they?

The ingratitude is astounding. Asked not to give extra, but just to meet a base minimum, they flat-out refuse. They fundamentally do not understand why they should pay anything. And who can blame them? Wouldn't you want an idiot to pay for all your expensive shit?

#15 Raise the damn tariffs and be done with it. Keep another $60 billion/year in the US employing Americans.

#16 Never should have allowed Germany to reunite. They have been subsumed by the East.

Could be more truth to that statement than fiction.

#17 Ease back on NATO, close the border, vastly increase our focus on this hemisphere and the Pacific. Watch Europe return to the chaos of the 30's while we regrow the depth of our prosperity. The balance of trade will shift favorable when the Euro's have to increase domestic defense spending or face the consequences of being a part of either the global caliphate of the new USSR. Time to be a hegemonic power and own our hemisphere again.
