#1 Look at my post on the French speech today.

Macron just delivered his speech to the nation:

“I’ve decided to begin strategic discussions on protecting our allies on the European continent with our French nuclear weapons”


We need to run away from NATO right now they are making the Democrats in house and senate look saner.

#3 NATO should have been demolished after the fall of the Warsaw Pact; instead, it only got bigger and wants to get involved in Asia.

Post War I, II, and Cold War Europe has formed the EU.

It has pretty much declared it no longer needs or wants the US physically there, just the freebies give (MTV, PHV, Prüm, Manheim, Hubbelrath and many other sites) and $$$$$ we send and spend there.

So save the US Taxpayers a $10+ Billion in annual OCONUS expenses and let the EU defend itself.

#10 Re NATO & civil rights.

It should not be forgotten that a crackdown on free speech in the name of promoting NATO & US government policies has been a consensus in the Western political class for a quite some years.

The Bush administration's political support for basic civil rights in the West after 9/11 was lukewarm at best, the Obama administration was downright hostile.

Obama, a beloved POTUS who was elected and reelected, officially and publicly demanded that the future must not belong to basic free speech. The free speech in question being a Christian pastor's publicity stunt designed to draw attention to Islam's murderous intolerance.

At the same time representatives of a passive aggressive, disrespectful, hostile and evil regime (liberated Afghanistan / The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan) were obesequiously receiced by the US & NATO politcial elite, even unsuited in the Oval Office.

MB Egypt, a recipient of US aid, officially called for negotiations with the US about amending the US Constitution to make it Sharia compatible, to no outrage or consequences.

The Obama administration leaked information about Israel's potential actions against Iranian nukes, even though Iran pioneered the Islamic threat to Western free speech rights in the West.

Even Donald Trump criticized the targets of the Garland attack in 2015 for criticizing Islam after the Charlie Hebdo massacre.

I believe this demolition, controlled or not, already happened in Afghanistan, it was called Operation Enduring Freedom. Because of Afghanistan NATO, very much including the US, chose to abandon the core values of Western civilization.
